To enable the SuperPON systems developed within the ACTS-PLANET (Photonic Local Access network) project to meet the availability targets;of the offered services redundant elements are provided to give protection in the event of failures, Using extensive reliability data a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based SuperPON architecture is' evaluated in terms of availability. An amount of redundancy (mainly of optical amplifiers and of cable plant) is required to provide, the availability for the system to support telephony in addition to the broadband service basket. Cable cut is seen to be a dominant factor. The telephony availability requirement can be achieved for the Fibre To The Home (FTTH) scenario with redundancy most importantly in the first distribution section and in the amplified splitter. The possible use of dual homing to counter catastrophic failures and the issues surrounding protection switching are also discussed.

The architecture of the control system of the Vivitron is distributed. Thirteen VME crates, equipped with MC68040 boards, working at a potential from 0 to 20 MV, concentrate the measurements and the commands. These concentrators and the control room are federated in a private optical Ethernet network. The intelligence of the system is shared between the concentrators. 4 workstations inside the control room are strictly dedicated to the animation of the graphical user interface, managed with SL-GMS. The mechanisms of communication are only based on industrial standards. The whole system is described in an object oriented data base. Each element, hardware device or software module, is represented in the database by numerical values such as addresses, calibrations or thresholds and a specific C function describing its behavior. The data base generates automatically the code exclusively from this description.

We describe a WDM-based optical access networkarchitecture for providing broadband Internet services. The architecture uses a passive collection and distribution network and a configurable Feeder network. Unlike earlier papers that concentrate on the physical layer design of the network, we focus on higher layer architectural considerations. In particular we discuss the joint design of the electronic and optical layers including: WDM Medium Access control protocols;the choice of electronic multiplexing and switching between the IP and WDM layers;joint optical and electronic protection mechanisms;network reconfiguration algorithms that alter the logical topology of the network in response to changes in traffic;and traffic grooming algorithms to minimize the cost of electronic multiplexing.

This paper examines the influence of multimedia communication services and electronic document systems in the management of technical documentation within a modern factory. After a brief introduction in Computer-integrated Manufacturing (CIM) and multimedia communicationsystems, the role of technical documentation in a CIM environment is examined, and the architecture of a Distributed Multimedia Electronic Document System (DMEDS) is proposed. The basic features/operations and the constituent parts of the proposed DMEDS are then analysed. Two of them, the network infrastructure and the necessary software structure, are examined in considerable detail. Finally, a number of important design issues are addressed, and some conclusions are drawn. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. all rights reserved.

Coherent optical pulse CDMA systems based on noncoherent demodulation of M-ary orthogonal signals are proposed. Each of the J information bits is encoded and transmitted as a M (=2(J)) symbol word of a family of Hadamard-Walsh orthogonal sequences. A pulsed laser is employed at the transmitter, modulated by the symbol sequence and encoded by an optical tapped delay-line encoder to generate a unique optical pseudo-random sequence (bipolar code). At the receiver, a pulsed local oscillator followed by a tapped delay-line encoder is employed to produce the optical code sequence of the intended user. Correlation between the received signal and the local code is executed through a coherent optical correlator comprising a 3dB coupler and balanced detector. Noncoherent demodulation of the M-ary orthogonal signals based on the maximum-likelihood criterion is used to recover the information bits. After a description of the network implementation, the performance of the system is theoretically analyzed and its numerical evaluation given. It is shown that the ratio of the number of available users to the practical code gain at a BER=10(-9) is approximately 3.7%-5%. Although a fewer number of users can be supported compared to full coherent reception (10%), the system no longer requires phase locking whilst keeping the advantages of the coherent approach. Hence the linewidth requirement of the laser sources is relaxed. The performance and the implementation of the system are still significantly better than conventional incoherent optical pulse CDMA systems utilising unipolar codes.

This paper presents an approach that introduces the formal Specification and Description Language (SDL) in the development of TMN systems. Using the management of opticalnetworks as an example it will be outlined how SDL can be used to ease implementation and evaluation of management systems. Owing to the formal nature of SDL system behavior can be specified thoroughly and prototypes can be generated semiautomatically. Applying this approach, dynamic behavior can be evaluated by integrating the generated prototype in an SDL test and simulation environment, In this environment trace tools support: description of management interactions in Message Sequence Charts (MSC) at runtime, Such traces permit to draw conclusions concerning the correctness and proper design of information models. The described methodology is being applied to the development of prototype management applications in the research project MOON2. It will be described how existing draft information models (e.g. information models for the management of opticalnetworks) can be evaluated by mapping them to SDL.

This paper presents system considerations for optical packet-switched networks using a wavelength recognizing switch (WRS) device for all-opticalcontrol and routing. networks with the WRS device are capable of truly all-optical routing;the packet header is processed in the optical domain. This unique feature allows the self-routing of optical packets in a flexible and dynamically reconfigurable way, but introduces new challenges for the network architect. Our novel architecture combines the use of the WRS with arrayed waveguide devices in a powerful addressing mode. In this paper we explore some of the system issues, including crosstalk, noise performance, cascadability. We present experimental data on a broad-area WRS device we fabricated and assess the feasibility of an integrated version of the device.

Fiber optic capabilities can be exploited to greatly simplify communicationnetworks while at the same time greatly expanding their capabilities. With fiber optic technology, it becomes feasible to construct a broadband integrated services digital network (B-ISDN) that is scaled to cover the United States and can provide an STM-1 (155 Mb/s) interface for each subscriber. This paper describes an all-optical backbone for this national B-ISDN network. A switching technique based on spatial gating and shifting of optical beams is presented. With this technique, signals are directed along optically transparent paths through the backbone switches, and signal characteristics remain unaltered as signals flow through the backbone.

We present: a new survivable, reconfigurable wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) ring architecture for the metropolitan area or regional networks. It uses bi-directional WDM and space division multiplexing (SDM) with simple switches for 1+1 protection at optical channel layer. The ring can be realized with available technology at relatively low cost. This architecture has advantages in scalability and reconfigurability. Achievable ring sizes are studied, and adaptability to varying traffic needs, utilizing multi-hop connections, is evaluated.

The paper presents optical LAN topologies which are made possible using an Arrayed Waveguide Grating Multiplexer (AWGM) instead of a passive star coupler to interconnect stations in an all-optical LAN. Due to the collision-free nature of an AWGM it offers the n-fold bandwidth compared to the star coupler. Virtual ring topologies appear (one ring on each wavelength) if the number of stations attached to the AWGM is a prime number. A method to construct larger networks using Cayley graphs is shown. An access protocol to avoid collisions on the proposed network is outlined.
