IFIP -The International Federation for Information Processing
IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World
Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year. An umbrella organization for societies
working in information processing, IFIP's aim is two-fold: to support information
processing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing
nations. As its mission statement clearly states,
IFIP's mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which
encourages and assists in the development, exploitation and application of information
technology for the benefit of all people.
IFIP is a non-profitrnaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers. It operates
through a number oftechnical committees, which organize events and publications. IFIP's
events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most important are:
• The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year;
• open conferences;
• working conferences.
The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and
contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the
rejection rate is high.
As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may
be invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently refereed.
The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working group
and attendance is smaIl and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an atmosphere
conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and papers are
subjected to extensive group discussion.
Publications arising from IFIP events vary. The papers presented at the IFIP World
Computer Congress and at open conferences are published as conference proceedings, while
the results of the working conferences are often published as collections of selected and
edited papers.
Any national society whose primary activity is in information may apply to become a full
member ofIFIP, although full membership is restricted to one society per country. Full
members are entitled to vote at the annual General Assembly, National societies preferring
a less committed involvement may apply for associate or corresponding membership.
Associate members enjoy the same benefits as full members, but without voting rights.
Corresponding members are not represented in IFIP bodies. Affiliated membership is open
to non-national societies, and individual and honorary membership schemes are also offered.

Preface
In these exciting times of quotidianly progressing developments in
communication techniques, where more than ever in the history of a
technological progress, society's reliance on communication networks for
medicine, education, data transfer, commerce, and many other endeavours
dominates the human's everyday life, the optical networks are certainly one
of the most promising and challenging networking options. Since their
commercial arrival in the nineties, they have fundamentally changed the way
of dealing with traffic engineering by removing bandwidth bottlenecks and
eliminating delays. Today, after the revolutionary bandwidth expansion, the
networking functionality migrates more and more to the optical layer, and
the need to establish fast wavelength circuits and capacity-on-demand for the
higher-layer networks, in particular data networks based on Internet Protocol
(IP), has become one of the central networking issues for the new century.
The unifying trends toward configurable all-optical network infrastructure
open up a wide range of new network engineering and design choices
dealing with networks' interoperability and common platforms for control
and management.
The Fifth Working Conference on Optical Network Design and
Modelling, held in the Austrian capital Vienna, February 5-7, 2001, aims at
presenting the most recent progress in optical communication techniques,
new technologies, standardisation process, emerging markets and carriers. A
short look at the Table of Contents of this book tells us, in fact, that this
year's conference program reflects the current state of the art precisely. In
the tradition of the previous conferences (Athens'OO, Paris'99, Rome'98 and
Vienna '97), which brought together university researchers, technology
leaders and network operators, also this year, the conference scope spans
from performance evaluation of wavelength-routed networks, over advances
in optical network technologies such as optical packet and burst switching,
to on-demand circuit provisioning with protection and restoration within the
optical layer.
To achieve such a great success in conference actuality and attendance,
as we had with ONDM'OI, the first words of reward go to the authors, who
came from three continents and 21 different countries to contribute their
x
high-quality papers and presentations. Special thanks are due to the members
of the Technical Committee, who, co-operatively and within a tight time
schedule, have accomplished a no easy task to choose "the best among the
best". Also this year, a number of invited speakers from industry and
academia presented the most recent topics in the field, for which I would
especially like to thank Paul Tomlinson, Piet Demeester, Roberto Sabella,
Yakov Rekhter, Bala Rajagopalan, Geoff Bennett, Goff Hill, Stefano Baroni,
Geert Morthier, Ronan O'Dowd, and Nico Wauters (in order of appearance)
for kindly accepting the invitation to come, thus invaluably improving the
technical excellence of this, and the ONDM conferences to come.
