MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, August 28, 2007—Matisse
Networks, the leader in optical burst switching , today
announced that it will deliver the keynote presentation at the
2007 International Workshop on Optical Burst Switching (WOBS) at
the Millennium Hotel in Durham, North Carolina, September 10,

Since 2003, the International Workshop on Optical Burst
Switching serves as the premier forum for researchers from
academia, industry and government to meet, exchange ideas, and
discuss the technical and commercial challenges associated with
burst-switched and packet-switched optical networks.
Mr. Claude Hamou, co-founder and chief operating officer at
Matisse, will lead a discussion on reliable optical burst
scheduling and traffic engineering. His keynote will discuss
challenges overcome by Matisse Networks over the course of
developing EtherBurst™ - the world’s first commercially
available optical burst switch.
“We’re honored to once again address such a distinguished
audience,” said Hamou. “The International Workshop on Optical
Burst Switching has been a leading venue exploring advances of
this disruptive technology.”
At last year’s 2006 WOBS, Mr. Oded Mor, Matisse Networks’
director of optical engineering, delivered a keynote
presentation unveiling the EtherBurst optical switch.
