Abstract
Submission Deadline: 31 October 2007 The rapid growth of IP and multimedia services is driving demand for capacity in the
long-haul transport network and, subsequently, in other parts of the network. The use of
optical fibers and optical network components makes networks more scalable and allows for
higher capacity links, which minimizes required equipment for transmission and switching.
In this way, however, the robustness of the network to transmission failures is decreased.
The consequence of higher capacity links is that more traffic will be affected by a single
failure. It makes the reliability and fault management aspects of optical networks of great
importance in attempting to introduce photonics in a broader context in the networks. Furthermore, the current evolution of the information society is relying more than ever
on the availability of an efficient communications infrastructure. Common connection availability
requirements are 99% to 99.999% (five 9s). Five 9s correspond to a connection downtime
of less than 5 minutes per year. The Journal of Optical Networking (JON) is soliciting papers for a Feature Issue addressing
all aspects of reliable components and systems for optical networks and the concepts,
techniques, and experience leading to high availability of services provided by optical networks.
The scope of the papers includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
To submit to this special issue, follow the normal procedure for submission to JON, indicating
"Feature Issue: RION" in the "Comments" field of the online submission form. For all
