NGI Distinguished Lecture - June 23, 2000, 2 PM EST <br>
Telcast from NCSA ACCESS FACILITIY <br>
Speakers: Bill Anderson and Janet Jackel, Telcordia<br>
Optical Networking for the NGI<br>
Explosive growth in the demand for bandwidth will challenge the
scalability <br>
of today's data networks. Optical networking offers a possible solution
by <br>
providing enormous bandwidth along with networking attributes that will
<br>
help make next generation internets more easily scalable. In this talk,
we <br>
will review the three key technologies that make optical networking
<br>
possible, along with the four network attributes that make optical <br>
networking valuable. Lessons learned from the recently concluded MONET
<br>
(Multiwavelength Optical NETworking) program will be reviewed, and the
<br>
prognosis for widespread deployment of the technology and remaining
<br>
research issues will be reviewed.<br>
<br>
Bill Anderson: <br>
Bill Anderson is the Director of the Optical Networking Systems
Engineering <br>
Research group at Telcordia Technologies. Bill's current research
interests <br>
include optical networking systems engineering and the simulation of
<br>
optical networks. Prior to joining the Telcordia MONET team at the start
of <br>
1997, Bill held a number of management positions at Telcordia, including
<br>
Fiber Media and Components, Fiber in the Loop, Fiber Testing Systems, and
<br>
Video Systems. He joined Telcordia at divestiture in 1983. Prior to
<br>
divestiture, he was with Bell Laboratories where he was involved in
<br>
research and development of fiber and cable products, including the first
<br>
commercial single-mode optical fiber in 1981. He has published more than
30 <br>
papers in technical conferences and journals, and he was General Cochair
of <br>
the OFC/IOOC'99 conference, the largest conference devoted to optical
fiber <br>
communications in the world.<br>
Bill received the BSEE degree from Georgia Institute of Technology in
1970, <br>
the MS in Engineering from Stanford University in 1971, and the Ph.D.
<br>
degree from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1979. In his spare time,
he <br>
plays Euphonium and Tuba with two community bands.<br>

The NGI Distinguished Lecture Series will be multicast live and also
<br>
webcast using RealMedia. The live multicast will allow for questions and
<br>
comments from the remote audience. To tune into the Internet multicasts,
<br>
look for the announcement in your MBONE session directory program <br>
('sdr'). If the announcement is not present there, it still may <br>
be possible to receive the session by manually configuring the client
<br>
programs ('vic', and 'rat' or 'vat') with session addresses. The <br>
session addresses, webcast details, and information on non-live access
<br>
to the seminar will be posted on:<br>
