   Optical Internet and Photonic Switching Conference 
								 (COIN+PS
2002) 
						http://www.coin-ps2002.org
		  Hyatt Regency Cheju, Cheju Island, Korea 
						July 21 - 25, 2002 
 
Sponsored by: 
   IEEE - Lasers and Electro-Optics Society, 
   Optical Society of America,
   Korean Institute of Communication Sciences, and
   The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers
In Co-operation with: 
   IEEE - Daejeon Section 
   Optical Internet Research Center at ICU, 
   Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute

Scope: 
   Internet traffic is now dramatically increasing with diverse service
requirement over the world so that optical internet is becoming economical
solution to meet these needs. 
Optical networks based on photonic packet and burst switches might be
realized in near future. 
The 2002 international meetings on OPTICAL INTERNET and PHONICS IN
SWITCHING in Korea are good opportunities to discuss these hot issues. 
Two meetings will be held at collocated site, Jeju island in Korea, on 21-
25 July 2002. 
The International Conference on Optical Internet (COIN) is the first
organized conference while the Topical Meeting on Photonics in Switching
(PS) is historical and preeminent conference. Two meetings are separately
organized but main topics may be merged each other so that submitted papers
will be conveniently allocated into both conferences for keeping their
technical balance. 
 
Important Dates: 
	Paper Submission Deadline: April 20, 2002 
	Paper Acceptance Notification: May 20, 2002 
	Pre-registration Deadline: June 21, 2002 
	Hotel Reservation Deadline: June 21, 2002 
	Postdeadline Paper Due: July 13, 2002 
	Conference Dates: July 21 -  25, 2002

About the Cheju Island : Conference Site 
"Nature's Paradise in the North Pacific"?
Cheju Island has a mild oceanic climate throughout the year with the
smallest annual temperature range in the country. 
The temperature for the hottest summer months averages no more than 33.5?
and no less than 1.0? for winter. 
The island is 73? wide and 41? long with a total area of 1,845?. Cheju
Island, the largest island in Korea, came into existence 700 to 1,200
thousand years ago when lava spewed from a sub-sea volcano and surfaced
above the waters. Then 100 to 300 thousand years ago, another volcanic
event formed Mt. Halla. The final volcanic eruption that took place
approximately 25 thousand years ago created the crater lake, Paeknok-dam,
at the summit of the mountain. 
Mt. Halla rises in the center of Cheju Island to 1950m above sea level. The
rest of the island slopes down from its summit and is covered with dark
gray volcanic rocks and volcanic ash soil. 
Relatively isolated form the rest of the world, the island's nature has
been well preserved in its prehistoric state. That is why to travelling to
Cheju Island is to travel back in time. 
Cheju's natural environment was preserved as best as possible. The
fantastically shaped rocks decorating the seashores, the hundreds of
Orums(secondary volcanos)and the rarest species of flora around the Paeknok-
dam lake are all treasures waiting to be discovered by visitors. One cannot
see Cheju Island unless one looks. It is like seeing only trees before
entering a forest. 
Our Internet home page, http://www.coin-ps2002.org/chejudo/index_e.htm, is
designed to let people take a look into Cheju Island - to take a glimpse of
the island's myths and shaman folklore, stone sculptures embodying local
faith and sentiments, historic relics and the beauty of its art. There is
also information about the leisure and sports activities the island offers -
such as golf, horse-back riding and windsurfing. The local cuisine, night-
life, shopping districts are also presented in a comprehensive and concise
format for easy view. 
We hope that everyone of you who visit Cheju Island leave taking a piece of
the island's magic in your hearts.
