+# BOW: Bayesian-Optimized Wavelengths
+
+## 1. Overview
+BOW is a bayesian optimization system that optimizes optical wavelengths' Quality of Transmission (QoT) metrics (e.g., OSNR) for wavelength reconfigurations. BOW is built on Python 3.8.8, with Ax (https://ax.dev) as the Bayesian Optimization backend, GNPy (https://gnpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/) as the optical-layer QoT estimator, and FCR (https://github.com/facebookincubator/FCR) as the control interface to optical network devices.
+
+For a full technical description on BOW, please read our OFC 2021 paper:
