Journal of Optical Communications and Networking (JOCN)
Special Issue on Photonic Networks and Devices
Submission Opens:1 September 2016
Submission Deadline: 1 October 2016
The OSA Photonic Networks and Devices conference (NETWORKS) brings together researchers and engineers from various communities that intersect in today's applications that require photonic networks. The new applications and network architectures will both drive and utilize innovations in optical transmission and photonic devices. Growing demands for bandwidth, flexibility, programmability, resilience, low cost, high integration, high functionality, low power consumption, and small footprint require novel solutions in photonic networks and devices. New management paradigms in the framework of software-defined networking are needed for efficient and dynamic programmability of virtualized network resources. The meeting focuses on fostering research that supports the future scaling and performance requirements of emerging applications, including data center and data-center interconnection, cloud infrastructure, and content delivery.
In this special issue of the Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, expanded contributions from invited and oral talks at the NETWORKS conference will continue the momentum of the conference and expand visibility for the work presented there. Submissions must include the conference paper among the references. See guidelines for submitting expanded conference papers here.
Manuscripts must be prepared according to the usual standards for submission to the Journal of Optical Communications and Networking and must be uploaded through OSA's electronic submission system, (/jocn/journal/jocn/author.cfm), specifying from the drop-down menu that the manuscript is for the Feature Issue on Photonic Networks and Devices
