For pt. I see ibid., vol. 6, no. 3, p. 12-27, 1992. A survey of wavelength-division-multiplexing
(WDM)-based local lightwave networks is presented. The general characteristics of multihop …

We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area optical networks. The
solution provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and the new concept of …

Some of today's telecommunications networks have the ability to superimpose some form of
logical connectivity, or virtual topology, on top of the underlying physical infrastructure …

The following problem arises in the study of lightwave networks. Given a demand matrix
containing amounts to be routed between corresponding nodes, we wish to design a …

The following paper investigates the effect on the intensity of perceived vection by changing
the field of view (FOV) using a head-mounted display (HMD) in a virtual environment (VE) …

We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area networks. The solution
provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and semilightpaths. A lightpath is a …

Services and possible network topologies are discussed. The technological issues related to
the implementation of such topologies are investigated, covering optical transmitters and …

Lightwave network architectures have emerged that aim to go far beyond simply exploiting
the huge point-to-point transmission capabilities of fiber optics. One of the most powerful and …

The authors propose a minimally disruptive approach that transitions the network through a
sequence of branch exchange operations, so that only two links are disrupted at any given …

Metropolitan Area WDM Networks: An AWG Based Approach provides a comprehensive
and technically detailed overview of the latest metropolitan area WDM network experimental …
