COST 291 - "Towards Digital Optical Networks"

The primary objective of this Action is to focus on novel network concepts and architectures exploiting the features and properties of photonic technologies, to enable future telecommunications networks. It is aiming to propose a new generation of systems and networks that will accommodate the unpredictable and growing size of data files and messages exchanged and stored as well as real time services (e.g. voice, video etc) over global distances requiring an agile Communication Grid supporting quality of services. The working groups are:

  • WG1: Optical processing for digital network performance.
  • WG2: Novel network architectures.
  • WG3: Unified control plane, network resilience and service security.
