Abstract
This special issue contains a collection of extended papers presented at the Future Optical Networks and Communications (FONC) Symposium in the IEEE Future Network World Forum (FNWF), 15–17 October 2024, Dubai, UAE, as well as papers from the open call. We present a brief introduction followed by an overview of the topics covered in the papers.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the Journal includes advances in the state-of-the-art of optical networking science, technology, and engineering. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, analyses, and economic studies) and practical contributions (including optical networking experiments, prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. Subareas of interest include the architecture and design of optical networks, optical network survivability and security, software-defined optical networking, elastic optical networks, data and control plane advances, network management related innovation, and optical access networks. Enabling technologies and their applications are suitable topics only if the results are shown to directly impact optical networking beyond simple point-to-point networks.
