0535833Raja:Description: This project supports a U.S.-Pakistan Symposium and Workshop on High Capacity Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies, to be held in December 2005 in Islamabad, Pakistan. The U.S. organizer is Dr. Yasin Raja, Department of Physics and Optical Science, University of North Carolina, Charlotte. The Pakistani organizers are Dr. Junaid Zaidi, Center for Information Technology, COMSATS University, Islamabad and Dr. Muhammad Afzal, Director, Center for Information Technology, University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The symposium will address the evolution of the optical Internet for telecom and IT use from the architectural, signal transport and application perspectives. The symposium will bring together 18 U.S. scientists and engineers from various universities and industrial organizations together with a large number of professionals from Pakistan and from other participating South Asian countries. The program will comprise a mix of technical talks, invited keynotes, interactive panels, and focus group meetings. Technical sessions will cover: network security and privacy; standards and routing protocols; passive optical networks; enabling technologies; multi-agent systems; optical-wireless networks; optical network II; grid computing and optical control planes; testbed experiences; and higher education in telecommunication technologies. Technical Merits: The topic of this meeting is important and timely. Increased awareness of emerging optical and high-speed networking technologies will contribute towards improving the Internet infrastructure in the countries involved. In particular, the evolution to higher bit-rates and access-speeds will foster increased research and development at educational institutions and use of digital libraries for mass education. It will strengthen research collaboration, including with U.S. scientists and engineers. The symposium will address the training of scientists and engineers who are capable of integrating advanced networking and enabling photonic technologies for the optical Internet. Visiting US scientists will gain a perspective on international research activities, by interacting with their counterparts from South Asian countries, and by gaining insight into the development and evolution of research and instructional programs there. Proceedings from the symposium/workshop will be widely published through U.S. scientific societies' journals.Broader Impact: Three U.S. junior scientists and three students will participate in the meetings and will be exposed to an international forum of research of global interest. This experience should enhance the potential for building collaborations in other developing countries/regions of interest to the United States, e.g., Asia, Africa, Latin America. The US participants will come from eight states and will include professionals, graduate students, women, and under-represented groups. The planned participation from a significant number of COMSATS member countries (from South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, www.comsats.org.pk) will present opportunities for US firms to collaborate with their counter parts. The meeting will promote a global research culture within the United States and will highlight the U.S.'s continued commitment to global educational development. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and the Pakistan Telecom Corporation are co-sponsoring the meeting.

0535833 Raja：描述：本项目支持美国- 2005年12月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行的关于高容量光网络和赋能技术的巴基斯坦专题讨论会和讲习班。 美国组织者是夏洛特的北卡罗来纳州大学物理与光学科学系的亚辛·拉贾博士。 巴基斯坦组织者是伊斯兰堡COMSATS大学信息技术中心的Junaid 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主任Muhammad Afzal博士。 研讨会将从架构、信号传输和应用的角度讨论光互联网在电信和信息技术中的发展。 研讨会将汇集来自美国各大学和工业组织的18名科学家和工程师，以及来自巴基斯坦和其他南亚国家的大量专业人员。该计划将包括技术讲座，邀请主题演讲，互动小组和焦点小组会议。 技术会议将涵盖：网络安全和隐私;标准和路由协议;无源光网络;赋能技术;多智能体系统;光无线网络;光网络II;网格计算和光学控制平面;试验台经验;以及电信技术方面的高等教育。 技术优点：本次会议的主题是重要和及时的。提高对新兴光学和高速联网技术的认识将有助于改善有关国家的因特网基础设施。特别是，向更高比特率和存取速度的演变将促进教育机构增加研究和开发，并将数字图书馆用于大众教育。它将加强研究合作，包括与美国科学家和工程师的合作。研讨会将讨论如何培训能够集成先进网络并使光子技术用于光互联网的科学家和工程师。 访问美国的科学家将获得对国际研究活动的观点，通过与来自南亚国家的同行互动，并通过深入了解那里的研究和教学计划的发展和演变。 研讨会/讲习班的会议记录将通过美国科学学会的期刊广泛发表。更广泛的影响：三名美国初级科学家和三名学生将参加会议，并将接触一个全球感兴趣的研究国际论坛。这一经验应能增强在美国感兴趣的其他发展中国家/地区建立合作的潜力，例如，亚洲，非洲，拉丁美洲。美国的参与者将来自八个州，包括专业人士、研究生、妇女和代表性不足的群体。 许多COMSATS成员国（来自南亚、非洲和中东，www.comsats.org.pk）计划参加，这将为美国公司提供与其对应方合作的机会。 这次会议将促进美国的全球研究文化，并将突出美国的研究。继续致力于全球教育发展。 巴基斯坦高等教育委员会和巴基斯坦电信公司共同主办了这次会议。
