 "Connection-Oriented Networks: SONET/SDH, ATM, MPLS and Optical Networks". Topics include: SONET/SDH. GFP, ATM, MPLS, GMPLS,
Wavelength Routing Optical Networks, Optical Burst Switching, Access
Networks,
and Voice over Packet. It is an ideal textbook for a second course
on networking and a good reference book.
- A complete set of power point presentations and a solution manual is available for instructors from Wiley's web site.
- A set of 27 lectures based on the book can be streamed free of charge.
- Reviews:
- Congratulatins to Wenhong Tian for successfully defending his PhD thesis "Analytical Models and Efficient Dimensioning Algorithms for Communication Systems In Randomly Changing Traffic Environments" on December 5, 2007. He is currently working at the department as a Post-Doc.
- Congratulations to Dr.
Kaiqi Xiong for succesfully defending his second PhD thesis "Resource optimization and security in distributed computing"
on August 1st. This is the first PhD thesis on service sciences that I
am affilated with. He will stay at the departement as a Post-Doc.
- Congratulations
to Xenia
Mountrouidou for successfully defending her PhD thesis "Bimodal
scheduling for OBS networks and characterization of burst aggregation
algorithms" on July 25th
2007. She will work for IBM at the Research Triangle Park, and I am
sure
that she will continue with her favourite sport of scuba diving!
- Congratulations to Savera Tanwir for successfully defending her MS thesis, entitled "Network resource scheduling and management of optical grids", on May 10th. Savera returned home to Islamabad where she will teach at NIIT starting Fall 2007 after she gets married!!
- Service Science
Management and Engineering (SSME) intiative. This is an exciting new
intitiative. Check our portal SSME for more
details.
- Congratulations to Dr. Lina Battestilli, for receiving the best PhD thesis award in 2006 in the entire University.
- Congratulations to Ms. Xenia
Mountrouidou,

- ONDM 2005:
This is the ninth conference on Optical Networks Design and Modelling,
organized by Achille Pattavina. February 7 to 9, 2005. This conference
is sponsored by IFIP WF 6.10.
- Networking 2005:
The next conference in this series will take place at the University of
Waterloo, Canada, in May 2-6, 2005. The main organizers are: Jay Black
and Raouf Boutaba. Looking forward to an excellent conference. This
conference took place every two years, but as from this year it will
take place annually. The next conference, Networking 2006, will take
place in Coimbra, Portugal. The venue for 2007 has not been decided
yet.
- In May 2004 I was appointed by IFIP TC 6 as the
chairman of IFIP Working Group 6.10 on Optical Networks. This Working
Group sponsors the ONDM series of conferences. For the current members see: WG 6.10 members
- I am happy to announce the Third Exotic Workshop
in Belize, March 11-12, 2005 (immediately before INFOCOM 2005 in
Miami). Sponsored by IFIP WG 6.2, 6.3, and 6.10. Come and give a paper
or simply attend! The best 8 to 10 papers will appear in a special issue of the Telecommunications Systems Journal.
- Khaled Al-Nowibet successfully defended his PhD thesis: Nonstationary Erlang Queues and Networks. Congratulations!!
- First Student workshop: March 19th, EGRC 463
-
Networking 2004: This was our third conference in this series, launched originlly by the IFIP Working Group 6.3
and Working Group 6.2. Congratulations to Kimon
Kontovassilis and Nikolas Mitrou for the excellent organization! This
is a series of conferences that I take a special pride, since Guy
Pujolle, Chairman of WG 6.2, and I were responsible for starting it.
