CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

The National Institute of Telecommunications in Warsaw, Department of Transmission and Fibre Technology, together with the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona and the IEEE/LEOS Poland Chapter are pleased to announce the 7^th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks ICTON 2005, which will be kindly hosted by Telefónica at Edifici Estel, Avda. de Roma 73-91, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, July 3 - 7, 2005. ICTON 2005 is receiving technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society.

Barcelona, the capital city of Catalonia is an industrial, cultural and academic centre and the famous tourist destination in Mediterranean West Coast. The international airport makes the city easily accessible.

The scope of the Conference is concentrated on the applications of transparent and all-optical technologies in brodband telecommunication networks, systems, and components, and includes:

Digital All-Optical Networks
Ultra-dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing
Ultra-fast Optical Time Domain Multiplexing
Chromatic Dispersion compensation
Polarisation Mode Dipersion
Wavelength conversion
Optical transparency & network scalability
Optical amplifiers
New fibre types, Plastic fibres
Nonlinear transmission
New transmission windows
VCSELs and other novel light sources
Photonic Band-Gap structures (ESPC)
Photonic crystal fibres
Nonlinear & active PBG devices
Grating-based photonic components
Optical switching and routing (WAOR)

Optical Packet Networks & Services
Optical memories and data storage
Nanoscale/ultrafast components
Quality of Service issues
Network reliability & availability
Wireless/Optical Networking (GOWN)
Radio-over-fibre transmission
Analogue transmission systems
Broadband metro and access networks
Next Generation Networking
Modelling of optical systems and components
Network planning and design tools
Graphs and algorithms in network modelling
Standardisation issues
Non-conventional optical communications
Other relevant topics

The ESPC is intended to monitor the technology, theory and modelling advances within the field with emphasis on telecommunication applications. The WAOR will review the progress in all-optical switching and routing devices, networking aspects, and traffic engineering. The GOWN part will address the convergence of wireless and optical communication technologies for next generation networks and services.

Authors are cordially invited to submit the contributions (4 pages in electronic form, Word 6.0 or later version accompanied by a PDF version) for Regular and Poster Sessions to icton@itl.waw.pl , by April 30, 2005. The authors will be notified on the acceptance by May 15, 2005. Post-deadline papers with recent results are requested by June 1, 2005.

Ambitious technical and social programs and friendly relations are traditional ICTON goals. We are looking forward to the pleasure to welcome you in Barcelona in July 2005.
