Conference Call for Papers
The optical interconnects (OI) technical area is concerned with technical advances pertaining to the design and/or realization of components, devices, and architectures motivated to support high-speed optical interconnection at all levels – including intra-chip, chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and module-to-module technologies. The OI subcommittee solicits papers in the following topic areas:
• Optics for the datacenter (e.g. silicon photonics, VCSELs, etc.)
• Passive components (e.g. waveguides, WDM components, optical I/O, etc.)
• Active components (e.g. lasers, switches, modulators, and photodetectors for high speed/bandwidth interconnection)
• Integration and packaging solutions
• Advanced modulation or signaling schemes
• Advanced multiplexing schemes
• Switching and signal routing technologies
• Transceiver and module technologies
• Other emerging or novel interconnection solutions (e.g. free-space, underwater, etc.)

Publication chance based on affiliation
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
Research.com
During the most recent 2019 edition, 4.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 52.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.52% of all publications and 23.81% were from other institutions.
Returning Authors Index
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

The experience to innovation index
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).
