Scope of the issue

Recent advances in the development of wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) networking components have resulted in an increased interest in
network design and deployment that can take advantage of the flexibility
and convertibility of these WDM components. It is widely believed that
WDM-based networks enabled with the capability of flexible
reconfiguration will play an important role in the next generation
network infrastructure to support the traditional voice and data
services plus the ever-increasing demand of multimedia applications.
Some of these applications may require one-to-many multicast support in
addition to the conventional one-to-one unicast delivery and some may
also demand for quality of service guarantee or service differentiation.
The efficient design of these next-generation WDM-based networks thus
becomes a significant and important issue.  At the network provisioning
level many design issues such as topology design, wavelength converter
placement, etc. should be considered together with the operational
issues such as wavelength assignment and routing, traffic grooming, etc.
at the operational level to achieve good performance at both levels. As
a result, a focus issue on this important topic is very timely.

The Editors of JON are soliciting papers on "WDM Network Design and
Routing". The aim of this focus issue is to publish original papers on
work on topics including, but not limited to, the following topics:

WDM network architectures and protocols
GMPLS network architectures
Wavelength converter placement in WDM networks
Routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in WDM networks
Protection and restoration strategies and algorithms in WDM networks
Traffic grooming in WDM networks
Dynamic routing strategies and algorithms
Optical Burst Switching
Support of Multicast
Protection and restoration in WDM networks
Performance analysis and optimization in WDM networks

Manuscript Submission
