International Symposium on 'High Capacity Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies'. To be held in Charlotte, NC on September 6-8, 2006.

摘要ECS-0638542M。牙生·A·拉贾大学。该提案描述了组织为期三天的“大容量光网络和使能技术”国际研讨会的计划2006年高容量光网络研讨会(HONET)。它聚焦于一个非常及时的主题--光互联网。有几个高级会议很好地结合了为下一代互联网技术做出贡献的主题。HONET 2006在过去两届国际研讨会成功的基础上，旨在进一步加强美国国内和国际专业人士(巴基斯坦和南亚)之间的合作。虽然HONET的主题与GENI(NSF Initiative)非常契合，但它也将为尖端研发提供建立国际联系和强大合作的机会。它将汇集学术和行业专业人士进行技术创新。它还将作为为美国商业部门探索国际机遇的启动平台，并符合NSF在高等教育和尖端研究方面的全球视野和拓展。智力优势：审查应用于高速互联网的先进光网络和使能技术，用于研究和教育。在美国和其他参与国的科学家、工程师和创业专业人员之间建立新的和加强现有的合作。进一步促进各机构与国际同行，如国立科技大学(NUST)、LUMS和Comsats信息技术研究所(巴基斯坦)等在各级的协作互动，为教育机构的专业人员(包括性别和多样性的高级、初级教员和研究生)和来自北美和南亚参与国的商业专家及其国际同行提供分享研究成果的途径。计划中的活动将产生更广泛的全球和区域影响，因为它与“2006年东南光学”(OSA&Amp；SPIE)年度地区性会议并置。特别是，向高速光学接入和网络安全的演变将支持教育机构增加研究和开发，并支持将数字图书馆用于大众教育。它还将简化和加快国内和国际专业人士(美国科学家、工程师和研究生)以及南亚专业人士之间的合作。研讨会还将与NSF在北卡罗来纳州的另一个努力，NCSU的百年校区科学之家，特别是由NSF完全赞助的光子学领袖计划合作。科学之家与K-12教师合作，强调在数学和科学中使用动手学习活动。这个项目的资金由电气和通信系统司和国际科学与工程办公室提供。

AbstractECS-0638542M. Yasin A. RajaUniv. of North Carolina at CharlotteThe proposal describes plans to organize a three-day long International Symposium on 'high-capacity optical networks and enabling technologies' High-capacity Optical Networking Symposium (HONET) 2006. It focuses on a very timely theme Optical Internet. There are several advanced sessions that tie well into the theme that contributes to the next generation Internet technologies. HONET 2006 builds on success of past two international symposia and aims to strengthen further the collaborations among US national and international professionals (Pakistan and South Asia). While the theme of HONET aligns well with GENI (NSF Initiative) it also will provide opportunity to establish international linkage and strong collaborations for cutting-edge R&D. It will bring together, academic and industry professionals for technical innovations. It also will serve as launching platform for exploring international opportunities for US commercial sector and conform to the global vision and outreach of NSF for higher education and cutting-edge research.Intellectual Merit: Review of advanced optical networks and enabling technologies as applied to high-speed Internet for research and education. Establish new and strengthen existing collaborations among US and other participant countries scientists, engineers and entrepreneurial professionals. Advance further the collaborative interaction at all levels among institutions and the international counterpart such as National University of Science & Technology (NUST), LUMS, and COMSATS Institute of IT (Pakistan) etc. Provide avenues to share research results among professionals from educational institutions (senior, junior faculty and graduate students of both gender and diversity) and experts from commercial sector and their international counterparts from participating North American and South Asian countries.The broader impacts of the planned event will be both global as well as regional, since it is collocated with 'Optics in South East 2006' (an annual regional OSA & SPIE conference). In particular, the evolution towards high-speed optical access and networks security will support increased research and development at educational institutions and use of digital libraries for mass education. It will also streamline and accelerate collaborations among national and international professionals (US scientists, engineers, and graduate students) as well as South Asian professionals. The workshop will also collaborate with another NSF effort in NC, the Science House on Centennial Campus at NCSU and in particular the Photonics Leader program, which is fully sponsored by NSF. The Science House works in partnership with K-12 teachers to emphasize the use of hands-on learning activities in mathematics and science. "Funding of this project is made by the Division of Electrical and Communication Systems and the Office of International Science and Engineering."
