###############################################################




Optical fiber is currently the main means for high-rate transmission in 
communication networks. In the last years, there is a great deal of 
ongoing research efforts that span the entire protocol stack of optical 
networks, with representative areas being architecture of optical 
components, optoelectronics, wavelength routing, energy efficiency, 
Quality of Service, hybrid optical-wireless networks etc.

OPTICS 2012 is part of the International Joint Conference on e-Business 
and Telecommunications (ICETE 2012) that has 5 more conferences with 
very strong synergies between them, namely:

- DCNET: Int'l Conference on Data Communication Networking 
(http://www.dcnet.icete.org)
- ICE-B: Int'l Conference on e-Business (http://www.ice-b.icete.org)
- SECRYPT: Int'l Conference on Security and Cryptography 
(http://www.secrypt.icete.org)
- SIGMAP: Int'l Conference on Signal Processing and Multimedia 
Applications (http://www.sigmap.icete.org)
- WINSYS: Int'l Conference on Wireless Information Networks and Systems 
(http://www.winsys.icete.org)

These six concurrent conferences are held in parallel and registration 
to one warrants delegates to attend all six.

ICETE is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be 
confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 409 submissions, 12% 
were accepted as full papers, 16% were presented as short papers and 13% 
as posters.

The conference program features a number of Keynote Lectures to be 
delivered by distinguished world-class researchers, namely:
- Venu Govindaraju, University at Buffalo, United States
- Sushil Jajodia, George Mason University Fairfax, United States
- Andreas Holzinger, Medical University Graz, Austria
(list not yet complete)

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All 
accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the 
conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM 
support.
A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and 
extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag 
in a CCIS Series book.
Additionally, a short list of papers presented at the conference, will 
also be selected for publication in the Journal of Information 
Processing Systems (JIPS).
Furthermore, a short list of papers presented at the conference, will be 
selected for publication in a special issue of JNW - Journal of Networks.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters 
Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and Elsevier 
Index (EI).
All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the 
SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). 
SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations 
dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: 
companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or 
researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the 
conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will 
benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including 
secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a 
valid idea.
