On behalf of the Organizing Committee of 12th International Conference on Optical Internet 2014 (COIN 2014) to be held from August 27 to 29, 2014 at Hyatt Regency Jeju Hotel, Korea, it is my great honor and pleasure to cordially invite you to the Conference.

The COIN 2014 provides a forum to present the cutting-edge research outputs for future collaborations which would help both students and researchers within their future research studies and works to be conducted. The conference will include multidisciplinary plenary talks and invited talks, featuring scientific innovations relevant to the field, oral sessions on the most significant current topics, and lively, interactive poster sessions.

Jeju is one of the most fascinating and safest meeting destinations for its excellent facilities and a wide range of quality accommodations and other services. Its natural beauty combined with a unique cultural and historical heritage makes Jeju more attractive place to visit. We are proud to invite you to Jeju Island, which is a perfect setting for the COIN 2014. It is a gentle oval shaped volcanic island with a dormant volcano, Mt. Halla, located at the center of the island, and is attracted as one of the most famous tourist destinations for sight spots in the world. This island is also surrounded by a variety of other attractions including golf, fishing, and scuba diving.

I truly believe that the COIN 2014 will be the ideal place for you to extend your knowledge about the optical internet area. We sincerely hope you to participate in the COIN 2014 to meet more people and make yourself known by exchanging new exciting scientific information as well as friendly personalities in the wonderful Jeju Island in Korea. We are all looking forward to seeing all of you in Jeju, Korea.
