Tutorial 6
Optical Networking for Future Internet
Date & Time: 18th Dec 2011 from 2:00 PM to 5.30 PM

Presenter:
 

Prof. Dr. Byrav Ramamurthy
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
 
 
Tutorial Abstract:
This tutorial will present the state-of-the-art in the field of "Optical networks" and emphasize the relevance of optical networks to Future Internet architectures. Optical networks encompass traditional networks operating on optical fiber as well as wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. The topics which will be covered in this tutorial include optical communication basics, optical network design, optical network modeling, routing and wavelength assignment algorithms, traffic grooming, optical network survivability and optical network simulation tools. The tutorial will cover the role of optical networks for wide area, metro area and access networks.

Keywords:
