The state of the art of modern lightwave system design Recent advances in lightwave
technology have led to an explosion of high-speed global information systems throughout …

In this paper, we consider the traffic grooming, routing, and wavelength assignment (GRWA)
problem for optical mesh networks. In most previous studies on optical mesh networks, traffic …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

Blocking probability has been one of the key performance indexes in the design of
wavelength-routed all-optical WDM networks. Existing research has demonstrated that an …

In the last 15 years, numerous investigations by both academia and industry have been
carried out in the field of all-optical WDM networks' design. In all-optical-or transparent-WDM …

Existing research demonstrated that an effective routing and wavelength assignment (RWA)
scheme and a wavelength converter placement algorithm are the two primary vehicles for …

Optical networks and the related technologies, network management software and services
have undergone remarkable developments, and such networks are now the ultra-high …

Feature Issue on Next-Generation WDM Network Design and Routing (WDMN) We study the
problems of routing and wavelength converter placement in optical networks with sparse …

Uncertain traffic plays an important role in the design of long-term optical networks. The
performance of these networks is highly dependent on the way the wavelength converter …

In this paper, we formulate an optimization problem for the design of light-tree based logical
topology in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. The problem is comprised of …
