ONDM 2007 Call for Papers (PDF version)

11th Conference on Optical Network Design and Modelling

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE ENDED ON JANUARY 15th

May 29-31, 2007, Athens (Greece)

Over the last years it became clear that optical networks will become the central networking infrastructure of the Information-based Economy and Society. The recent advances in WDM technology retransformed our notion about networking layers and offered new design options to network operators and designers. While IP is becoming the dominant protocol for data, voice and video services, the growth in data traffic exceeds the growth in processing capabilities of electronic routers; this has raised a number of issues concerning the integration of IP routing functionalities with the optical transport platform. New optimized network architectures, transport protocols, routing and traffic engineering, as well as network provisioning techniques, are sought by service providers to be able to establish on demand high capacity circuits that can carry large volumes of traffic in a cost-efficient way.

The purpose of the ONDM conference is to address recent advances in the design, modeling and implementation of optical networks, including novel switching schemes and paradigms, network optimization and design, new concepts for link and control layer protocols, advanced network subsystems and node architectures, and network inter-working schemes.

ONDM 2007 is sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing IFIP (http://www.ifip.tu-graz.ac.at/TC6/).

Additionally, the conference is supported by the

Author Guidelines

High-quality original papers are solicited in full length of 6 to 10 single-spaced pages (in English). (Please note that due to the specific format used in this conference, a 3-page paper in IEEE format is almost equivalent to 6-pages).

Information and author guidelines regarding the paper layout can be found in:

Also information about users using LaTeX can be found in the first URL above.

Submissions must include: title, authors, affiliations, abstract, and a list of maximum five keywords. The author responsible for correspondence should be identified, including mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.

All papers will be subject to a full review process carried out by the Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field to ensure quality and relevance. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper will be expected to attend the conference and present the work.

The conference proceedings will be published as hard-copy and electronically by Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series, which will be available during the event.

Authors are requested to submit their paper electronically through EDAS:
