4th International Conference on Optical Communication Systems (OPTICS 2013)2013-07-29 - 2013-07-31ReykjavÃÂk, Iceland Conference name: 4th International Conference on Optical Communication Systems (OPTICS 2013) Venue: ReykjavÃÂk, Iceland Event Date: 29-31 July, 2013 The purpose of OPTICS 2013, the International Conference on Optical Communication Systems, is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on any of the optical communication components of an optical communication system, or the system itself. An optical communication system consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver, which reproduces the message from the received optical signal. Optical fiber is currently the main means for high-rate transmission in communication networks. In the last years, there is a great deal of ongoing research efforts that span the entire protocol stack of optical networks, with representative areas being architecture of optical components, optoelectronics, wavelength routing, energy efficiency, Quality of Service, hybrid optical-wireless networks etc. CONFERENCE TOPICS Integration of Optical and Wireless Networking Design, Control and Management of Optical Networks Energy Efficiency in Optical Networks Passive Optical Networks High Speed optical LANs and Gigabit Ethernet Lasers and Photonic Components New Architectures for Optical Routers and Switches New Optical Fiber Technologies Optical Modulation and Signal Processing Optical Access Networks Optical Networks Performance Modelling Optical Networks to Support Cloud Computing QoS.
