Dear Colleagues: It is my pleasure to invite you and members of your research group to submit an article for a special issue of Optical Switching and Networking (Elsevier) .
Yours faithfully, Piotr Zwierzykowski /On behalf of the Editorial Team/ Call for Papers - Optical Switching and Networking (Elsevier) Special Issue on Optimization of Wired and Wireless Optical Networks Aim and Scope: Intense development of optical technologies has enhanced the importance of optical networks that are no longer used exclusively in backbone networks, but have become fundamental elements of access networks. Currently, they are being more and more widely used in the mobile backhaul part of 3/4/5G wireless networks. The rapid surge in the popularity and scope of utilisation of optical and hybrid networks has necessitated the creation of analytic and simulation techniques for their modelling, dimensioning and optimisation. The methods of modelling optical networks that are being developed, help to determine their mobile properties, both in terms of modelling optical connections, and entire nodes. This research leads to the elaboration of the optimum structure of optical network nodes, and particularly to devising new architectures of switching fabrics used in these nodes. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Technologies used in optimisation process of optical or hybrid networks Services in optical wire and wireless networks Performance evaluation of multiservice access nodes in optical or hybrid networks Resource management mechanisms for core optical networks Traffic control methods in optical access networks Analytical and simulation models of optical access networks Design and dimensioning of nodes in backbone optical networks. The special issues paper submission page is available at https://www.evise.com/profile/#/osn/login When submitting the manuscript for this special issue, please select Special issue: Optimization of Wire WON as the article type.
