Optical Networking Readers new from IEEE
There is so much newly written on optical networking,
that it can be a daunting task for a busy professional to keep
up with the
latest trends. IEEE Educational Activities Selected Readings books,
Optical
Networking I and II, deliver state-of-the-art information for
practicing
electrical and computer engineers. Each collection provides an
overview of
specific areas and papers describing the field in detail.
Dr. Mehmet Toy, editor of both volumes, has selected the best
previously
published papers on optical networking from prestigious journals
and
transactions of the last three years. The books are grouped by
sub-topics
and need not be read in order. Prefaces to the volumes are available
for
your inspection at
www.ieee.org/organizations/eab/PDI/pages/courselist/preview.htm.
Optical Networking I provides readers with a collection of
papers
describing issues from optical components such as amplifiers to
management
of optical networks. Topics include:
*Architectures for Wide and Local Area Networks
*Key devices for building optical networks including MEMS
*Architectures for cross connects and architectures for optical
switches
Optical Networking II provides readers with knowledge on how
to accommodate
for the immense capacity of fiber optic needs. By using this material,
engineers will know how to match fiber needs with switches, routers,
and
cross connects, as well as ways to support increasing traffic
demands.
Topics include:
*Signaling and Routing
*Scalability
*Restoration
*Quality of Service
This collation of materials will aid engineers in managing
the huge growth
of information in optical networking. It can also provide background
for
those engineers managing in the optical networks area. Toy has
a strong
background in Optical Networking with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering
and
years of accomplishments with AT&T, Lucent Technologies, and
most recently,
Axiowave Networks. His expertise assures readers that the volumes
are
filled with the most current quality materials.
