Despite the recent economical downturn, the optical communications field continues to be the subject of extensive efforts in standards bodies like the IETF and the OIF among others, as well as in academia. Optical communications technologies for devices, systems, and networks will play a major role in the infrastructure of future telecommunications networks. You are invited to submit original technical papers for presentation at GLOBECOM 2003 and publication in the Conference Record. Symposium Topics * Routing and wavelength assignment * Optical Switching * Optical Communication Systems * Optical Access Networks * Network Survivability and fault management * Network Design and reconfiguration * Quality of service and Scheduling * Traffic Grooming in Optical Networks * Traffic Engineering in IP optical Networks * Metropolitan and Local Area Optical Networks * Traffic control and management * GMPLS protocols analysis * Optical Components and Devices * DWDM/TDM multiplexing systems GENERAL INFORMATION GLOBECOM 2003 will be composed of six major Symposia, the traditional GLOBECOM General Conference addressing a set of current communication topics, and technology Tutorials and Workshops. You are invited to submit original technical papers for presentation at GLOBECOM 2003 and publication in the Conference Record. You are invited to submit proposals to conduct technical Tutorials and Workshops. Visit the website for further details.
