Preface
The optical networking field is seen to be rapidly emerging with a strong and sus-
tained technological and business growth. Research has led to massive development
and deployment in the optical networking space leading to significant advancements
in high speed network core and access networks.
The 11th International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling
brought together scientists and researchers to meet and exchange ideas and recent
work in this emerging area of networking.
The conference was sponsored by IFIP and supported by the e-Photon/ONe and
COST 291 projects. The conference proceedings have been published by Springer and
are also available through the Springer digital library. The conference program fea-
tured 14 invited presentations and 41 contributed papers selected from over 90 sub-
missions. A series of sessions focusing on recent developments in optical networking
and the related technology issues constituted the main conference program.
The international workshop “Optical network perspectives vs. optical technologies
reality” was collocated with ONDM 2007 and took place on May 29th. It was organ-
ized by the EU COST 291 action. The objective of the workshop was to focus on
cross layer issues and address various challenges with respect to the implementation
of optical networking concepts based on available optical technology capabilities.
ONDM 2007 was located in the beautiful and historic city of Athens, Greece, May
29–31, 2007. The conference venue was the well equipped facilities of the Athens
Information Technology Center – AIT (www.ait.gr), where participants enjoyed a
warm hospitality.
Finally, we would like to thank all those who helped in the organization of this
event and especially the distinguished members of the Technical Program Committee
and the Local Organizing Committee.
