Student Support for the 2010 Photonics in Switching Topical Meeting July 25-28, in Monterey, VA

2010年7月25日至28日在加利福尼亚州蒙特利的蒙特利广场酒店举行的2010年光子学切换主题会议的目标是与该领域的领导者以小团体的形式讨论这项快速发展的技术。学术价值：会议将汇集该领域的主要领导者，展示光子学在交换领域的最新进展，并将讨论光网络、计算和互联网基础设施的未来发展和应用。会议讨论将通过聚集来自不同受影响学科的研究人员来定义和回答他们在未来十年出现的需求，从而推动光子交换研究的前沿。广泛影响：交换主题中的光子学会议自1987年以来一直是讨论该技术的主要会议，吸引了学术界、工业界和政府机构的优秀研究人员。通过在美国、亚洲和欧洲之间每三年轮换一次，它提供了一个有利于直接对话、传播和讨论的国际论坛，以确定新的方向。这次会议有助于确定互联网流量日益增长的需求所需的研究，以及减少电力消耗和设备占地面积所需的研究。美国光学学会的这一专题会议将有助于培训参与的学生，主题将通过会议技术摘要传播。

ObjectiveThe objective of the 2010 Photonics in Switching Topical Meeting, to be held at the Monterey Plaza Hotel in Monterey, California, on July 25-28, 2010, is to discuss the rapidly evolving technology, in a small group, with leaders in the field. Intellectual merit:The conference will assemble the key leaders in the field to present recent advances in Photonics in Switching and will discuss future developments and applications in optical networking, computing and Internet infrastructures. The meeting discussions will advance the leading edge of Photonic Switching research by bringing together researchers from the different impacted disciplines, to define and answer their emerging needs of the next decades.Broader impact:The Photonics in Switching Topical Meeting has been the premier meeting addressing the technology since 1987 and attracts bright researchers in academia, industry and government agencies. By rotating its venue between the US, Asia and Europe on a three year cycle it offers an international forum conducive to direct dialog, dissemination and discussions in identifying novel directions. This meeting has been instrumental in defining the research required by the growing demands in internet traffic and for reduction in power consumption and device footprint.This Topical Meeting of the Optical Society of America will contribute to the training of participating students and the topics will be disseminated through the Conference Technical Digest.
