Introduction

Welcome to NOC 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal.

 

The 21st European Conference on Network and Optical Communications (NOC), will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 1-3 June 2016. The conference will be hosted by ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL).

 

NOC 2016 will bring together leading experts from both academia and industry interested in the optical networks area, optical communications (both fiber and free-space) and photonic devices. Hot topics such as optical mobile backhauling, optical interconnects, intra-datacenter networking, and software-defined optical networks will be addressed.

 

The technical program will include internationally recognized keynote speakers, technical sessions with oral presentations, as well as industry sessions that will bring together players from both suppliers and operators world. Also, an engaging conference social program will be offered to all the attendees. And, in your free time, you can enjoy Lisbon and its emblematic historical sites or just have a relaxing walk by the Tagus river side.
