WELCOME REMARKSThis year's iPOP International Conference marks its 11th anniversary. This annual event which has been sponsoredby Photonic Internet Labs (PIL) and ISOCORE since its inception, will take place at the Okinawa Jichikaikan,Okinawa, Japan, April 20－22, 2015. This is an exception to previous years which were held in Tokyo area. While
the topics of the conference are moving from photonic networks or GMPLS to NFV or SDN, the key focus is stillon reliable, manageable, flexible and cost effective carrier and/or service provider networks. Okinawa is becoming
the center for SDN and OpenFlow research in Japan and iPOP this year is hosted by the Okinawa Open Lab.
The iPOP 2015 Conference addresses important topics and issues related to SDN (software defined network). The
main target here is the SDN for Carrier networks. This is very much different from the data center networks, as highreliability, monitoring capability for their operation will be required. To this end, we will have a demonstration withmultiple research and interoperability sites including Okinawa Open Lab and ISOCORE. This is the world first
demonstration for multi-carrier SDN networking globally. This technology has the potential to be deployed ininter-datacenter network and also future contents centric and/or IoT/M2M network. There will be interesting
discussion on the future capability of SDN and NFV. The technical program committee has put together an exciting
program consisting of technical sessions with emphasis on presentations on ASON (Automatically SwitchedOptical Network), WSON (Wavelength Switched Optical Network), PCE (Path Computation Element) and its
applications, and Packet Transport over Optical. Finally do not miss Okinawa Open Lab’s tour which is world classresearch labs demonstrated with ISOCORE USA during this event.
In addition to the main presentation and discussion topics above, this year, we expect to discuss multi-area
networks and multi-technology operation incorporating optical paths in the showcase and booth demonstrations.
There will be technical demonstrations and showcases combined with the presentations.
We hope that you would be able to attend iPOP 2015 and make this event a great success! We look forward to yourparticipation and support.
