The continuing trend of exponential traffic growths in the Internet and broadband access is driving the need for a cost-effective and scalable switching and access technology. In particular, the rapid convergence of data and media stream and diverse service applications are driving the network evolutions. It is clearly beneficial to switch and route optical packets, bursts, and circuits in all-optical form. The International Workshop (IWOO) has originally been focusing on Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA). In IWOO2013 its technical scope has been renewed and widened to optical signal processing and optical switching technologies.
