****            SUBMISSION DEADLINE (EXTENDED): MARCH 11, 2012 
          ******

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 17th European Conference on Network and Optical Communications - NOC 
2012 and
the 7th Conference on Optical Cabling and Infrastructure - OC&I 2012
will be held in Vilanova i la Geltr?, Catalonia, Spain, on June 19-22, 2012.

The 17th NOC continues to combine the 7th OC&I, within a single event, 
providing a forum
for the promotion of new opportunities from industry, institutes of 
technology and academia.
We therefore invite you to contribute to the event through involvement 
as co-sponsor,
session organiser, presenter, delegate or contributor.

The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the 
field, and to provide a framework
for research collaboration through focused discussions that will 
designate future research efforts
and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only 
a limited number of papers
that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic 
relevance.
NOC and OC&  I have reached the highest level of quality, which is 
reflected both in the level of
participation as well as the acceptance ratio and the amount and quality 
of submitted papers.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published 
by IEEEXplore

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

?  Optical network performance modelling
?  Optical network planning and design
?  Network reconfiguration and restoration techniques
?  Novel architectures for wavelength routers (optical nodes)
?  Multi-layer design of optical networks
?  Self-healing SDH loops
