About the Conference

ICUMT is an IEEE sponsored annual international conference providing an open forum for researchers, engineers, network planners and service providers in telecommunications targeted on newly emerging systems, standards, services, and applications. ICUMT is positioned as a premier international annual conference for the presentation of original and fundamental research and engineering results. The aim of ICUMT is to bring together Russian and international players in telecommunications. The conference will consist of open call sessions, workshops and industrial panels.

The ICUMT 2009 is supported by the Popov Society and Government of St.Petersburg and regarded as very important part of scientific life of Russia. The conference has strong industrial support from worldwide leading telecommunication vendors as well as national companies and SMEs.

The conference proceedings (including workshops) will be published in IEEE Xplore (approved) and indexed in relevant databases.Authors of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration of publication in a special issue.
The ICUMT 2009 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the meeting point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and wonderful art galleries and museums, among a number of other attractions, the wealth of history of East and West can be seen and felt in this beautiful city.

The venue place and official hotel for the ICUMT 2009 is the Pulkovskaya Park Inn.

Paper submission:

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of Optical Networking Technologies and Data Security. All papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, published in IEEE Explore (approved). Papers must be submitted electronically in the EDAS. The maximum size of papers should be 5000 words including tables and figures. The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address. Authors of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for consideration of publication in a special issue.The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to the IEEE instructions.

Objectives of Workshop

Optical networks are high-capacity telecommunications networks based on optical technologies and components that provide routing, grooming, and restoration at the wavelength level as well as wavelength-based services. As networks face increasing bandwidth demand and diminishing fiber availability, network providers are moving towards a crucial milestone in network evolution-'The optical network'. Optical networks, based on the emergence of the optical layer in transport networks, provide higher capacity and reduced costs for new applications such as the Internet, video and multimedia interaction, and advanced digital services.

The rapid growth of information technologies has brought tremendous opportunities for data sharing, integration, and analysis across multiple distributed, heterogeneous data sources. A growing attention has been paid to the study, development and application of data security. Nevertheless, dependability aspects in these applications such as availability, reliability, and integrity, privacy, and security issues are still being investigated. Furthermore, the complexity of security increases as different sources of information are combined.

The goals of this workshop are to bring together users, engineers and researchers (from industry and academia) alike to present their recent work, discuss and identify problems, synergize different views of techniques and policies, and brainstorm future research directions on various aspects of optical networks and data security.
