Optical burst switching (OBS) and optical packet switching (OPS) are promising
switching technologies which have the potential to efficiently utilize the
bandwidth of optical transmission systems to support a diverse range of emerging
high-bandwidth applications. The promise of OBS and OPS has recently lead to
significant research and development efforts around the world to develop OBS and
OPS technologies. This growing interest in OBS and OPS has resulted in the
organization of a series of successful international workshops on OBS and OPS,
starting in 2003 with the First International Workshop on Optical Burst
Switching at OptiComm 2003 in Dallas, and continuing to the Workshop on OPS/OBS
at COIN 2005 in ChongQing, China.
This workshop on OBS/OPS at BroadNets 2005 provides a forum for researchers and
developers from universities, industry, and government agencies to openly
exchange information and to discuss the technical and commercial challenges
associated with the development and deployment of optical burst-switched and
optical packet-switched networks.
Scope
Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to the following:
- OBS/OPS node architecture
- Signaling and control in OBS/OPS networks
- Contention resolution in OBS/OPS networks
- Routing in OBS/OPS networks
- Grid applications for OBS/OPS
- TCP/IP, Ethernet, or SONET over OBS/OPS
- OBS/OPS network survivability
- Quality of service in OBS/OPS networks
- Traffic engineering and grooming in OBS/OPS networks
- Performance evaluation of OBS/OPS networks
- OBS/OPS experiments and testbeds
- Components and devices for OBS/OPS networks
- Commercial and regulatory issues related to OBS/OPS
The workshop will include invited talks, panels, and technical sessions for presentations. The participants will also be given a plenty of time and opportunities to network with each other and engage in technical discussion and debate.
