—In a reconfigurable network, lightpath connections can be dynamically changed to reflect changes in traffic conditions. This paper characterizes the gain in traffic capacity tha...
We present randomized approximation algorithms for the circular arc graph colouring problem and for the problem of bandwidth allocation in all-optical ring networks. We obtain a fa...
The problem of grooming is central in studies of optical networks. In graph-theoretic terms, it can be viewed as assigning colors to given paths in a graph, so that at most g (the ...
We describe a WDM-based optical access network architecture for providing broadband Internet services. The architecture uses a passive collection and distribution network and a co...
: In this paper, we investigate the problem of routing lightpaths on an arbitrary physical topology following a Design Protection approach, such that virtual topology remains conne...
