Fault Detectability in DWDM: Toward Higher Signal Quality and System Reliability

Dr. Stamatios Kartalopoulos' research interests and expertise include DWDM, IP, SONET/SDH, ATM over SONET/SDH, digital cross-connects, local area networks, transmission and access systems, ultrafast pattern recognition, access and enterprise systems, local area networks, satellite systems, high-efficiency scalable protocols, intelligent signal processing, neural networks and fuzzy logic, control architectures, real-time multitasking, and complex VLSI design. He has led and managed teams in these areas. He holds several patents, seven of which (and seven pending) are in communications and optical communications systems. Dr. Kartalopoulos currently works in the Advanced Optical Networking Center of Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs Innovations. For his accomplishments, he has received the President's Award, the Award of Excellence, and numerous certificates of appreciation. He is also a distinguished lecturer and a speaker recognized internationally.
Dr. Kartalopoulos is the author of Introduction to DWDM Technology: Data in a Rainbow (IEEE Press, 2000), Understanding SONET/SDH and ATM (IEEE Press, 1999), and Understanding Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic (IEEE Press, 1996) and has contributed chapters to other books.
