ICTON addresses applications of transparent and all optical technologies in telecommunication networks, systems, and components. ICTON topics are well balanced between basic optics and network engineering. Interactions between those two groups of professionals are valuable merits of Conference. ICTON combines high level invited talks with carefully selected regular submissions. ICTON scope is concentrated on the applications of transparent and all-optical technologies in telecommunications, computing and novel applications, and includes:
