PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors must submit full papers (minimum 3 pages and maximum 6 pages in standard IEEE conference style, http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences...) describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing forefront research and development in the area of optical network design and modeling. Selected papers will be invited to submit to an extended version to ONDM 2016 Special Issue in IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking. All submissions must be done through EDAS using the following link: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21567. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process.
During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, authors are required to make sure that the PDF file and EDAS registration page of a paper have the same list of authors and paper title, namely add all authors in EDAS during the submission process. The author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript. At least 1 author of accepted papers must be registered to the conference as presenter in order to appear in the proceedings at IEEEXplore.
Please contact ondm2016-AT-upct.es if you have any questions about submitting your paper.
