DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gaetano Assanto\, University of Rome "Roma Tre"\nThis ta
 lk is an overview of our recent work on optical spatial solitons in reorie
 ntational nonlocal media\, namely nematic liquid crystals. After a brief i
 ntroduction on spatial solitons\, nematic liquid crystals and their proper
 ties\, the main fatures of these solitons will be described with emphasis 
 on controlled routing for guided-wave reconfigurable interconnects\, inclu
 ding voltage-driven steering\, interactions with defects and extra beams\,
  self-acceleration.
