As it is established practice ONDM will focus on cutting-edge, state-of-the-art research in optical networking, as well as topics relating optical networking to the other areas and disciplines, such as integration of optical and wireless networks or the role of optical network for the future Internet design.
Topics include but are not limited to:

Optical networks performance modeling
Optical networks for future Internet design
Optical networks control and management
Energy efficiency in optical networks
Novel architectures for optical routers and switches
Optical networks to support cloud computing
Optical access networks design and protocols
Economic analysis of optical networks
High speed optical LANs and Gigabit Ethernet
Field trials, new applications and experiments
Convergence of optical and wireless access networks
Security and privacy in optical networks

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in the area of optical network design and modeling.
