The Second IFIP International Conference on wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN 2005) invites high-quality recent research results in the areas of Mobile and Wireless Communications, optical communications and networking, architectures, protocols, planning and design, management and operation. The main goal of the conference is to bring together scientists and engineers who work on wireless and optical communications networks. The Second IEEE and IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN 2005) will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates March 2005. WOCN 2005 is the second conference in its series aimed at stimulating technical exchange in the emerging and important field of mobile, wireless and Optical communications networks. WOCN 2005 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research and work in the wireless and Optical industries. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of techni.......
 as optic
al amplifier, tunable filters, transceivers, termination devices and add-drop multi-plexers are becoming more affordable and reliable. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly built with optical technologies to overcome the electronic bottleneck at network edges. New components and subsystems for high-speed optical networks offer new design options. The objective of this event is therefore to foster the exchange of information among researchers in this fast-moving field. The authors can present their finding on new Fibers, optical fiber gratings and devices, optical amplifiers, optical sensing and medical application of fiber optics and opto-electronics.
