Preface
During the last 3 decades, the field of telecommunications has witnessed
tremendous growth. Proliferation of the Internet has started a true revolution
that is expected to continue through the foreseeable future. Three factors
have played major roles in the unprecedented growth of this field:
• Users’ incessant demand for high-speed communication facilities for
heavy-duty applications such as rich-content video
• Availability of high-speed transmission media such as optical fibers
• Availability of high-speed hardware such as high-resolution video
cameras and high-speed processors
These factors are leading towards an integrated high-speed (and
high-bandwidth) communication environment where all communication
needs will be supported by a single communication network. The latest
trends indicate that bandwidth needs double every 100 days. The volume
of data traffic has surpassed the volume of voice traffic. Such a monumental
demand for bandwidth can only be met by using optical fiber as transmission
media. Other bottlenecks such as bringing fiber to the desktop, or to the
home, still exist. However, eventually these obstacles will be overcome.
Emerging optical communication networks represent a step in that direction.
The Handbook of Optical Communication Networks is a source of compre-
hensive reference material for such networks. The material presented here
is intended for professionals in the communications industry who are
designers and/or planners for emerging telecommunication networks,
researchers (faculty members and graduate students), and those who would
like to learn about this field.
The handbook is organized in the following seven parts:
• Introduction and optical networks architectures
• Protocols for optical network architectures
• Resource management in optical networks
• Routing and wavelength assignment in WDM networks
• Connection management in optical networks
• Survivability in optical networks
• Enabling technologies for optical networks

Each part consists of 2 to 5 chapters dealing with the topic, and the
handbook contains a total of 21 chapters. Although this is not precisely a
textbook, it can certainly be used as one for graduate and research-oriented
courses that deal with optical communication networks. Any comments from
readers will be highly appreciated.
Many people have contributed to this handbook in their unique ways.
The first and the foremost group that deserves immense gratitude are the
highly talented and skilled researchers who have contributed the 21 chapters
to this handbook. All have been extremely cooperative and professional. It
has also been a pleasure to work with Nora Konopka, Helena Redshaw, and
Amy Rodriguez of CRC Press, and we are extremely grateful for their sup-
port and professionalism. Our families have extended their unconditional
love and strong support throughout this project, and they all deserve very
special thanks.

About the Editors
Dr. Mohammad Ilyas earned his B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from
the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan, in 1976.
From March 1977 to September 1978, he worked for the Water and Power
Development Authority, Pakistan. In 1978, Dr. Ilyas was awarded a scholar-
ship for his graduate studies, and he completed his M.S. degree in electrical
and electronic engineering in June 1980 at Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran. In
September 1980, he joined the doctoral program at Queen’s University in
Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He earned his Ph.D. degree in 1983. His doctoral
research was about switching and flow control techniques in computer com-
munication networks. Since September 1983, Dr. Ilyas has been with the
College of Engineering at Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, where he
is currently Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. From 1994
to 2000, he was Chair of the department. During the 1993–94 academic year,
he was on his sabbatical leave with the Department of Computer Engineer-
ing, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Ilyas has conducted successful research in various areas including
traffic management and congestion control in broadband/high-speed com-
munication networks, traffic characterization, wireless communication net-
works, performance modeling, and simulation. He has published one book
and over 130 research articles. He has supervised 10 Ph.D. dissertations and
32 M.S. theses to completion and has been a consultant to several national
and international organizations.
Dr. Ilyas is a senior member of IEEE and an active participant in several
IEEE technical committees and activities.
Hussein Mouftah joined the School of Information Technology and Engi-
neering (SITE) of the University of Ottawa in September 2002 as a Canada
research chair (Tier 1) professor in optical networks. He was previously full
professor and department associate head of the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at Queen’s University (1979–2002). He has three years
of industrial experience, mainly at Bell Northern Research of Ottawa (now
Nortel Networks) (1977–1979). He also spent three sabbatical years at Nortel
Networks (1986–1987, 1993–1994, and 2000–2001), conducting research in the
areas of broadband packet switching networks, mobile wireless networks,
and quality of service over the optical Internet. He served as editor-in-chief

1333_Frame_00.fm Page viii Wednesday, March 5, 2003 12:28 PM
of the IEEE Communications Magazine (1995–1997) IEEE Communications Soci-
ety director of magazines (1998–1999), and chair of the Awards Committee
(2002–2003). Dr. Mouftah is the author or co-author of 4 books, 17 book
chapters, and more than 650 technical papers and 8 patents in this area. He
is the recipient of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO)
1989 Engineering Medal for Research and Development, and the Ontario
Distinguished Researcher Award of the Ontario Innovation Trust. He is the
joint holder of the Best Paper Award for a paper presented at SPECTS’2002,
and the Outstanding Paper Award for papers presented at the IEEE
HPSR’2002 and the IEEE ISMVL’1985. He is also a joint holder of an honor-
able mention for the Frederick W. Ellersick Price Paper Award for best paper
in the IEEE Communications Magazine in 1993. He is the recipient of the IEEE
Canada (Region 7) Outstanding Service Award (1995). Dr. Mouftah is a
Fellow of the IEEE (1990).
