Scope
The Optical and Grid Computing Symposium will focus on state-of-the-art research topics related to all aspects of
optical communications, networking, experiments, demonstrations, field trials, and applications in support of
grid/cloud computing. To ensure a complete coverage of the advances in optical communication and networking
related technologies, the Optical and Grid Computing Symposium aims at presenting original contributions in, but
not limited to the following topical areas:
? Optical network architectures
? Transparent and Translucent optical networks
? Elastic/flexible-grid optical networks
? Multi-layer and Multi-domain optical networks
? Optical access networks
? Convergence of optical and wireless access networks
? Optical networks to support cloud and grid computing
? Storage networks
? Optical network design and reconfiguration
? Optical network control and management
? Routing and spectrum assignment
? Protection and restoration
? Traffic grooming and traffic engineering in optical networks
? Impact of the physical-layer impairments on optical network design and traffic engineering
? Optical network virtualization
? IP-WDM integration
? Multicasting in optical networks
? Optical network security
? Optical switching technologies, devices, and architectures
? Multi-granularity switching
? Optical packet and burst switching ? Field trials, new applications and experiments
? Energy-efficient/green optical networks and systems

Short biographies of co-chairs
Zuqing Zhu
Zuqing Zhu received the PhD degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of
California, Davis, in 2007. From Jul. 2007 to Jan. 2011, he worked in the Service Provider Technology Group of
Cisco Systems, San Jose, as a senior R&D engineer. In Jan. 2011, Dr. Zhu joined the University of Science and
Technology of China (USTC), where he currently is an Associate Professor. He has published more than 80 papers
on the peer-reviewed journals and conferences of IEEE, IEE and OSA. He has been in the technical program
committees (TPC) of INFOCOM, ICC, GLOBECOM, ICCCN and etc. Dr. Zhu was a guest editor of IEEE Network
special issue on “Optical Networks in Cloud Computing”. He is also an editorial board member of Elsevier Journal
of Optical Switching and Networking (OSN), Springer Telecommunication Systems Journal (TSMJ), Wiley
European Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (ETT), and etc. He is a Senior Member of
IEEE and a member of OSA.
Paolo Monti
Paolo Monti holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (2005) from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). After a
period as a Research Associate of the Open Networking Advance Research (OpNeAR) Lab at UTD, he joined the
Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in September 2008 where he is currently an Assistant Professor in the School
of Information and Communication Technology (ICT-COS) and the deputy director of the Optical Networks
Laboratory (ONLab). He co-authored more than sixty papers published in international journals and presented in
leading international conferences. Dr. Monti served as Guest Editor for the Journal of High Speed Networks and he
is currently serving on the editorial board of the Springer Networking and Electronic Commerce Journal. He
regularly serves in the technical program committee of IEEE and OSA conferences including GLOBECOM, ONMD,
ACP, and ICC. His research interests include: network planning, protocol design, performance evaluation, energy
efficiency, and optimization techniques for both optical and wireless networks. Dr. Monti is a member of the IEEE
Communication Society.
