The main issues in optical networking are being widely investigated not only for WDM networks but also for optical TDM and optical packet switching. This book contributes to further progress in optical network architectures, design, operation and management."--BK JACKET. "This book contains the selected proceedings of the Second International Working Conference on Optical Network Design and Modelling, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in February 1998 in Rome, Italy."--BK JACKET. "This new book will be essential reading for personnel in computer communication industries, and academic and research staff in computer science and electrical engineering."--BK JACKET ER -
