Abstract
Call for Papers: Photonics in Switching

Technologies based on DWDM systems allow data transmission with bit
rates of Tbit/s on a single fiber. To facilitate this enormous transmission
volume, high-capacity and high-speed network nodes become inevitable in the
optical network.
Wideband switching, WDM switching, optical burst switching (OBS),
and optical packet switching (OPS) are promising technologies for harnessing the
bandwidth of WDM optical fiber networks in a highly flexible and efficient
manner. As a number of key optical component technologies approach maturity,
photonics in switching is becoming an increasingly attractive and practical
solution for the next-generation of optical networks.
The scope of this special issue is focused on the technology and
architecture of optical switching nodes, including the architectural and
algorithmic aspects of high-speed optical networks.
Scope of Submission
The scope of the papers includes, but is not
limited to, the following topics:
- WDM node architectures
- Novel device technologies enabling photonics in switching, such as
optical switch fabrics, optical memory, and wavelength conversion
- Routing protocols
- WDM switching and routing
- Quality of service
- Performance measurement and evaluation
- Next-generation optical networks: architecture, signaling, and
control
- Traffic measurement and field trials
- Optical burst and packet switching
- OBS/OPS node architectures
- Burst/Packet scheduling and routing algorithms
- Contention resolution/avoidance strategies
- Services and applications for OBS/OPS (e.g., grid networks,
storage-area networks, etc.)
- Burst assembly and ingress traffic shaping
- Hybrid OBS/TDM or OBS/wavelength routing
