0424384 RajaDescription: This project supports a US-Pakistan Workshop on "International Workshop on "High Capacity Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies" to be held in Islamabad, Pakistan. The workshop will be jointly organized by Dr. Yasin Raja, Department of Physics and Optical Science, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Syed Zaidi, Institute of Information Technology (NIIT), National University of Science and Technology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and Dr. Mohammad Afzal, Center for Information Technology, University of Arid Agriculture (UAR), Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The scope of the workshop will encompass certain areas of telecom sector including: the review of high-capacity optical networks, network security and privacy, standards and routing protocols, metro/edge networks, optical access and passive optical networks (PON), multi-agent systems, optical wireless networks, wavelength and optical burst switching, and broader implications thereof on higher education within the telecom and IT sectors. The major objective of the workshop will be the establishment of sustainable future collaborative research and education initiatives among researchers and engineers from U.S. and Pakistani institutions. Special organizational task group meetings will be held to identify the areas of mutual interest. A binational committee will be established with specific task assignments to follow up future progress and programs. Twelve U.S. contributors/participants, and some ninety professors, scientists, engineers, and graduate students from Pakistani institutions and surrounding industry are expected to attend. The workshop proceedings will be published. Scope and broader impact: The workshop will help in setting research and development priorities to meet the challenges due to the recent privatization steps taken in Pakistani Telecommunication sector. The new openness of telecom and information technology (IT) presents new opportunities for collaboration between US and Pakistani scientists and engineers, and will eventually pave the way for U.S. firms for extending global business to Pakistan, and for markets within the South Asian region. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the National University of Science and Technology have signed a cooperative agreement for joint research program that will help NUST to establish new Ph.D. program in the area of Telecom and Information Technology. The Higher Education Commission of the Government of Pakistan is sponsoring the workshop within that country. It is expected that future collaborative interactions between Pakistani educational and industrial institutions and U.S. counterparts will result. U.S. graduate students will be among the participants supported by this project.

0424384 Raja描述：该项目支持将在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行的美国-巴基斯坦研讨会"高容量光网络和使能技术国际研讨会"。讲习班将由北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市北卡罗来纳州大学物理和光学科学系的Yasin Raja博士、巴基斯坦拉瓦尔平迪国立科技大学信息技术研究所的Syed Zaidi博士和巴基斯坦拉瓦尔平迪干旱农业大学信息技术中心的Mohammad Afzal博士联合举办。 研讨会的范围将涵盖电信部门的某些领域，包括：审查高容量光网络，网络安全和隐私，标准和路由协议，城域/边缘网络，光接入和无源光网络（PON），多代理系统，光无线网络，波长和光突发交换，以及它们对电信和IT部门高等教育的更广泛影响。研讨会的主要目标是在美国和巴基斯坦机构的研究人员和工程师之间建立可持续的未来合作研究和教育计划。将举行特别组织工作组会议，以确定共同关心的领域。 将成立一个两国委员会，分配具体任务，以跟进未来的进展和方案。 预计将有12名美国贡献者/参与者以及来自巴基斯坦机构和周边行业的约90名教授、科学家、工程师和研究生参加。 研讨会的会议记录将予出版。 范围和更广泛的影响：该研讨会将有助于确定研究和发展的优先事项，以应对巴基斯坦电信部门最近采取的私有化措施所带来的挑战。 电信和信息技术（IT）的新开放为美国和巴基斯坦科学家和工程师之间的合作提供了新的机会，并最终为美国公司将全球业务扩展到巴基斯坦和南亚地区的市场铺平了道路。 位于夏洛特的北卡罗来纳州大学和国立科技大学签署了一项联合研究计划的合作协议，该计划将帮助NUST建立新的博士学位。在电信和信息技术领域的计划。 巴基斯坦政府高等教育委员会将在该国主办这次讲习班。 预计巴基斯坦教育和工业机构与美国同行之间的未来合作互动将产生。 美国研究生将成为该项目支持的参与者。
