The Papers Committee wants to see both creative authors and curious visitors interacting. Authors, don’t miss this chance to voice your opinion to the big audience, to relay your observations and share your work with your own style and background. Be provocative, think out of the box, the Papers Committee look forward to seeing you in Dubai.
The Call for Papers provides information on the process for submitting an abstract of an oral or poster paper that authors wish to present and also gives details of the review process and the timescales for paper selection.
Alice Shelton from Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks, acts as the overall Programme Chair for the event and in addition to the paper presentations there will be a range of Keynote Speakers, Roundtable and Special Sessions together with a set of masterclass-tutorial sessions held on the first day of the conference.
During the conference we also hope to celebrate 30 years of SubOptic, so as well as a Call for Papers, this is also a Call for Memorabilia! Do you have any photos from the early SubOptic conferences? A story to relate? Which are the most memorable events or sessions from the last 30 years? The most interesting and/or innovative papers? We would love to hear from anybody with a story to tell or memories to share.
If you have anything to contribute to our 30 year review, or have an idea that you think could form the basis of a tutorial/masterclass or any other presentation, round table or workshop, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Alice Shelton.
