How to arrive to Northumbria University, City Campus

1. Road LinksThe City of Newcastle is reached by the A1(M)from London in the south and Edinburgh in thenorth; the A19 from York; the M6 from thesouth–west and west to Carlisle; and the A69from Carlisle to Newcastle upon Tyne.The public car parks at John Dobson Street, NewBridge Street, Eldon Square and Eldon Gardensare all within walking distance of the CityCampus. Please note that there is no publicparking available on the campus.

2. Air LinksNewcastle International Airportoperates domestic services to majorcities including London, Manchester,Birmingham, Bristol, Aberdeen andGlasgow. There is a Metro station inthe airport terminal building – thenearest Metro station toNorthumbria's City Campus isHaymarket.

3. Rail LinksNewcastle Central Station, on themain east coast line, providesexcellent rail links to London,Edinburgh and other citiesthroughout Britain. The station isabout 20 minutes walk from the CityCampus or five minutes by Metro(alighting at Haymarket MetroStation). A number of traincompanies operate to and fromNewcastle, including Cross CountryTrains and TransPennine Express

Chair’s Message

On behalf of the NOC Continuity Fund and Harmer Associates, the NOC/OC&I 2011 LocalOrganising Committee, the Technical Committee and all the sponsors we are delighted towelcome you all to the 16

thEuropean Conference on Networks and Optical Communications

(NOC 2011) and the 6th

Conference on Optical Cabling and Infrastructure (OC&I 2011) hostedby the School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences at the NorthumbriaUniversity in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, 20-22 July 2011. The event has 7 parallel technicalsessions on the latest development of optical communications. In addition the programmeincludes internationally known keynote speakers presenting overviews of current research intopical areas.

The NOC/OC&I 2011 has received technical sponsorships from IEEE, IEEE UK&RI Section, IEEEUK&RI Communications Chapter, IEEE Scottish Photonic Chapter, IET, and sponsorships fromNorthumbria University, Agilent Technologies, Wiley and Sons Ltd., The MediterraneanJournals of Computers and Networks (MEDJCN), and Electronics and Communications(MEDJEC). In line with recognition of good papers, there are three sponsored prizes for bestpapers as well as travel grants.

In total we have received papers from 36 countries. Each paper has received at least twoindependent reviews which we are grateful to all the expert reviewers. All the authors weregiven ample opportunities to address the reviewers’ comments accordingly. All the acceptedpapers are of high quality and as a result will be published in IEEEXplore after the papers arepresented at the conference.

Finally, on behalf of the NOC Continuity Fund and Harmer Associates and the NOC/OC&I 2011Local Organising Committee we would like to wish you all a very successful conference andhope that NOC/OC&I 2011 will prove to be interesting, stimulating and enjoyable bothtechnically and socially, and look forward to seeing you at NOC/OC&I 2012.
