NOC 2014 is technically co–sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (www.comsoc.org). Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. Top–ranking papers will be considered for extended–version fast–track publication in a mini–feature issue of Elsevier Optical Switching and Networking<br>(www.journals.elsevier.com/optical–switching–and–networking) (indexed in ISI and Scopus).<br>Topics of interest<br>* Optical network performance modelling<br>* Optical network planning and design<br>* Multi–layer design of optical networks<br>* Optical network management<br>* Signaling for all–optical networks<br>* Measurement, monitoring and supervision techniques<br>* Optical multicasting<br>* All–optical access networks<br>* Field trials and experiments<br>* Optical network virtualization<br>* Standardization and economic comparisons<br>* Software Defined Networks<br>* Next–generation Passive Optical Networks<br>* Energy efficiency as well as energy saving in telecommunications networks<br>* Reliability and Maintenance<br>* FTTX economics<br>* Standards<br>* Optical Wireless Communications<br>* Combined optical and wireless networks<br>* 100 Gbit/s and beyond: high–speed coherent fiber transmission<br>* Optical Software Defined Networks<br>* Reconfigurable OADM<br>* Mobile optical backhauling and wireless to fiber convergence in the metro and access networks<br>* Multicore and multimode fiber systems<br>* Silicon photonics switching architectures and systems<br>* Openflow–based optical control plane<br>* SDN vs. GMPLS control plane<br>* Optical cloud computing<br>* Photonic network architectures for datacenter interconnections<br>* OFDM applications in optical networks<br>* Elastic optical networking<br>* Routing and spectrum allocation algorithms<br>* Path computation element (PCE) for optical networking<br>
