The 7th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN 2008)
The 7th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN 2008) invites high-quality recent research results in the areas of optical communications, network components, architectures, protocols, planning, design, management and operation. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics, scientists, professionals, engineers and industrialists who work in the field of optical communications and networks and to foster the exchange of information, ideas and experiences among them in this fast-moving and exciting field. ICOCN has been held annually in Asia Pacific region since 2002. This year the conference is jointly held with three other symposia under the broader umbrella conference of PhotonicsGlobal@Singapore, so that attendance in the 7th ICOCN will give you exposure and connections with many participants in other related fields of photonics.
