Modeling and Computer-aided Design of Optical Communications Systems and Networks

The book will focus on the subject of modeling/simulation of WDM systems and networks and how it can be used on practical industry case studies to design systems/networks. Its top-down approach will provide a view on how simulation plays a critical role in the above task on all network layers. So much work has been done and published in the last 5 years but there has not been a book putting all of this into perspective. There was a chapter on Photonic simulation tools by A. Lowery in Kaminow's latest book ("Optical Fiber Telecommunications IVB") but clearly it only covers a small part of what we want to cover.
