Workshops


ONDM 2025 will feature a series of workshops covering cutting-edge topics in optical networking and related fields. Click on the links below for more details about each workshop.

Organizers: Yvan Pointurier (Huawei), Raul Muñoz (Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya)

Traditionally, Datacenter networks (DCN) used for interconnection within core DCs are natively point-to-point with little optical switching, while optical transport networks have traditionally been implemented with ROADM-based optical switching.

This paradigm has evolved recently due to:

  • The need to deploy massively distributed edge DCs integrated into optical metro networks.
  • The introduction of optical circuit switching (OCS), particularly fiber switching, within datacenters by Google and other major OTTs.
  • The emergence of coherent pluggables in transport networks, affecting the traditional transparency of ROADM-based systems.

This workshop will explore the implications of these changes and discuss key questions, such as:

  • Are optical circuit switching solutions viable for all datacenter operators, or just a select few?
  • Will datacenter operators abandon ROADM benefits for more opaque networks?
  • How will massively distributed edge DCs influence traditional DCN designs?
  • Can transport networks be used for DCN, or are the requirements too different, necessitating dedicated DCN deployments?

Organizers: Stella Civelli (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche), Chigo Okonkwo (Eindhoven University Of Technology)

Physical layer security has recently attracted significant interest as a means to enhance the security of optical networks and safeguard data transmission. In this workshop, we will explore various advanced physical layer security techniques applied to optical communications, aiming to analyze emerging opportunities and challenges in this rapidly evolving field.

Throughout the workshop, we will delve into cutting-edge approaches, highlight current challenges, and explore future directions in this discipline.

Alongside the focus on security and the principles of Trusted AI and Trustworthy AI, the workshop will also address the environmental impact of AI methods and the paradigms of sustainability and energy efficiency of AI-driven network automation.

By involving and integrating current research, this workshop aims to provide a differentiated perspective on whether AI in the context of network automation is a boon or a bane. Thereby, this workshop is targeted at researchers and practitioners who want to contribute to understanding the diverse impacts of AI on network security and to developing robust, secure, and sustainable AI-driven network infrastructures.

The global footprint of optical communication systems has the potential to serve as a ubiquitous platform for both scientific and commercial sensing applications. It covers both indoor and outdoor built environments as well as cross-country and subsea terrain. Submarine optical systems have already attracted much attention using fibre sensing as a geoscience instrument and as an early warning system for tsunamis and seismic events. While a range of optical monitors, such as power and channel monitors, are used to control and manage today's optical systems, new sensing capabilities have the potential to open up 'situational awareness' in optical systems. Sensing data on the fibre plant and signal parameters promise to improve the reliability and optimization of the communication systems themselves. Detection of physical activity around cables including digging or anchor drags, might prevent breaks and increase availability and management of cable infrastructure. In addition to technical challenges of integrating sensors, sensing signals and sensing capabilities into the physical communication technologies, new control and management functionality may be needed in order to take full advantage of optical sensing.

The IEEE International Network Generations Roadmap (INGR) strives to identify these challenges and trends and help to chart out the research and development that will shape networks for the next decade and beyond. In this workshop panellists will discuss the potential for integrating optical sensing in communication systems and its new roadmap in the latest edition (2024) of the optics chapter in the INGR. They will also take a critical lens to key elements and trends in the roadmap. From this perspective, together with the audience, the panellists will explore the future of optical sensing in communication systems and strive to answer the following questions:

  • Which sensing technologies are most promising for different applications and time frames?
  • What are the 'game changing' opportunities from integrating sensing into communication systems? Where will the greatest impact be?
  • What research needs to be done in order to set the stage for widespread use of optical sensing in communication systems?
  • Is there a flipping point technology, capability or cost point for optical sensing that will likely drive widespread adoption?
  • How can sensing be used to enhance security and resilience of fibre infrastructure including submarine cables?
  • What sensing should use separate fibres, share the same fibre, or share the same signals with communications?
  • How might optical sensing change how we control and manage optical communication systems: submarine, metro/long haul and access/indoor?
  • What about sensing in the home, businesses, or on the street? Is there potential in these areas and how so?

This workshop is jointly organized by the IEEE INGR Optics Working Group and the Intent and Context-aware Optical Network (ICON) project funded by the European Commission (project 101189703).

Organizers: Alessio Giorgetti (University of Pisa), Giada Landi (Nextworks)
