34th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication September 21 - 25, 2008 - Brussels Expo, Belgium

2nd Workshop on Future Internet Design (FID)

September 21st, 2008, 14:00 - 18:00
Brussels/Belgium
collocated with ECOC 2008

Workshop Objectives

This workshop brings together researchers in the area of future Internet design including in particular "Clean Slate Design" and researchers in the area of optical communications, to raise mutual awareness, explore areas of joint interests, and stimulate discussion on the directions of future network research. Both communities will need to closely cooperate to overcome a number of fundamental issues to make the future Internet happen. This workshop will focus on recent developments in three key areas in Future Internet Design which are related to the development of optical technologies and optical networks:
  • Future Internet Routing Issues
  • The Role of Optics in Future Internet Design
  • Principles and Implementation of Virtualization Concepts
