The wave function of a composite system is defined in relativity on a space–time surface. In
the explicitly covariant light-front dynamics, reviewed in the present article, the wave …

In this position paper on reliable networks, we discuss new trends in the design of reliable
communication systems. We focus on a wide range of research directions including …

We will present versatile optical code (OC)-based photonic MPLS, so-called OC-MPLS
which ranges from circuit switching, burst switching, to packet switching. OC-label is an …

This paper studies the possibilities of protecting backbone networks from multiple
simultaneous failures. Although methods that prepare the networks to survive single failures …

Long-reach passive optical networks (LR-PONs) prove to be a suitable candidate for future
broadband access networks. The longer reach of the feeder fiber in a LR-PON enables us to …

In this paper we study different options for the survivability implementation in MPLS over
optical transport networks (OTN) in terms of network resource usage and configuration cost …

Various protection and restoration techniques for IP over optical network framework have
been surveyed in this paper. These schemes are based on different concepts. They have …

We present a new traffic engineering (TE) model which is based on QoS rerouting and uses
hybrid resilience to improve the recovery performance of multi-layer networks where an …

Recently, the intelligent networks have been used widely for information transfer. Therefore,
attention has been paid to combine “intelligent networks (IN)” with “Command and Control …
