IEEE Communication Magazine, Special Issue on Multi-Domain Optical Networks: Issues and Challenges (June 2008)
by Chava S 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Manuscript Submission Deadline: December 1, 2007                             CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Communications Magazine June 2008   ------------------ Feature Topic ------------------ Multi-Domain Optical Networks: Issues and Challenges   ---------------- Background ----------------   The continuing maturation and declining costs of optical technologies has resulted in current and future optical networks having several optical domains with different granularities; each domain controlled by an independent and autonomous service provider. Now consider the emerging applications, which require high-bandwidth and interconnection with multiple applications across multiple domains. These kinds of applications necessitate the critical need for intelligent optical network control plane which is aware and can compute end-to-end paths based several domain specific and technology specific parameters. Standardized interworking across various multi-granularity network interfaces and interoperability among vendors equipment/domains are crucial to provision end-to-end services and establish cost effective network evolution path. Current optical networks are based on multiple technologies and control solutions, standard and propriety, making inter-domain and inter-carrier interworking difficult posing several new requirements, for example, the routing process needs to know the extent of each domain and the granularities on each link within the domains and should be sensitive to the costs associated in traversing through other domains; the domain specific information sharing and dissemination; performance monitoring across multiple domains; fault-localization and reporting; security; billing and accounting; control plane standardization; efficient inter-domain routing protocols such as OBGP/PNNI; SLA negotiation and guarantee across multiple domains; interoperability issues; etc. Needless to say that, by having an interoperable and standard control plane across mutli domain optical networks, carriers can benefit from cost effective selection of network elements, platforms, and multiple vendor solutions resulting in faster deployment and reduced CAPEX and OPEX. To promote research and address these challenges many leading private and government agencies have funded numerous projects across the world. Clearly, these newer research initiatives will play a crucial prove-in role for emergent multi-domain optical networks, and their importance cannot be understated. This special issue will serve to share the collective experiences of researchers, industry professionals, practicing engineers, network operators, and equipment vendors in the area of multi-domain optical networking space.   ----------------------------- Scope of Contributions ----------------------------- This feature topic aims to consolidate and disseminate the recent developments and advances in the area of multi-domain optical networks.

c -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS Datum: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:24:47 -0400 Von: Dario Pompili <dario(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CALL FOR PAPERS] IEEE JSAC - CALL FOR PAPERS Underwater Wireless Communications and Networks Wireless information transmission through the ocean is one of the enabling technologies for the development of future ocean-observation systems, whose applications include gathering of scientific data, pollution control, climate recording, detection of objects on the ocean floor, and transmission of images from remote sites. Implicitly, wireless signal transmission is crucial for control of autonomous vehicles which will serve as mobile nodes in the future information networks of distributed underwater sensors. Wireless communications underwater are usually established using acoustic waves, while electro-magnetic waves can be used over short distances. Acoustic communications are governed by three factors: limited bandwidth, time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound underwater. Together, these factors result in a communication channel of poor quality and high latency, thus ironically combining the worst properties of terrestrial mobile radio and satellite channels. In addition, because acoustic propagation is best supported at low frequencies, high-rate underwater systems are inherently ultra-wideband. These facts necessitate dedicated design of communication algorithms and network protocols at all layers of the system architecture. The proposed JSAC special issue seeks original research papers that explicitly address the unique technical challenges encountered in underwater scenarios, including (but not limited to) the following areas: * Statistical channel modeling and estimation * Underwater channel and network capacity * Bandwidth-efficient modulation/detection methods * Acoustic modem design and performance * Coding for underwater channels * Optical and RF underwater systems * Network topology and architecture * Resource allocation and spatial reuse * Multiple access techniques * Medium access control protocols * Routing protocols * Transport protocols * Traffic characterization and modeling * Data aggregation, fusion, and storage * System integration and applications * Experimental platforms * Application experiences Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html and submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to http://edas.info according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: FEBRUARY 15, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2008 Final Manuscript Due: August 15, 2008 Publication: 4th Quarter 2008 For any additional request, please contact Michele Zorzi, zorzi(a)dei.unipd.it GUEST EDITORS John Heidemann, Information Sciences Institute (johnh(a)isi.edu) Urbashi Mitra, University of Southern California (ubli(a)usc.edu) James Preisig, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (jpreisig(a)whoi.edu) Milica Stojanovic, Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (millitsa(a)mit.edu) Michele Zorzi, University of Padova (zorzi(a)dei.unipd.it) Dario Pompili, Ph.D. School of Electrical & Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA Email: dario(a)ece.gatech.edu http://users.ece.gatech.edu/dario/ Mobile: (404) 324-2342 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
