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.

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:
December 22, 2006 January 15, 2006: Original full-length unpublished paper due.
February 23, 2007 March 15, 2007: Notification of acceptance of the paper.

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:
