CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

The National Institute of Telecommunications, Department of Transmission and Optical Technologies in Warsaw, together with Communications Systems Laboratory at the University of Warwick School of Engineering, and the IEEE Photonics Society Poland Chapter are pleased to announce the 14^th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks ICTON 2012 which will be kindly hosted at the University of Warwick, UK, July 2-5, 2012. Technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Photonics Society is foreseen.

The University of Warwick is located in Coventry, at the heart of England. Famous home of William Shakespeare, Stratford is yet another beautiful jewel in Warwickshire crown. England's second city, Birmingham, is just 15 miles (25 km) from Coventry.

The scope of the Conference is concentrated on the applications of transparent and all-optical technologies in telecommunications,computing and novel applications, and includes:

Authors are cordially encouraged to submit the contributions (max. of 4 pages in MS Word accompanied by a PDF version) for Regular and Poster Sessions to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by March 31, 2012. Please state clearly for which workshop/session your submission is appropriate.
