In optical transport networks algorithms dealing with the lightpath selection process select routes and assign wavelengths based on the routing information obtained from the networ...
—In this paper, we study the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) tasks in WDM rings with heterogeneous wavelength conversion capabilities. By heterogeneous, we mean that diff...
In a real-time system, tasks are constrained by global endto-end (E-T-E) deadlines. In order to cater for high task schedulability, these deadlines must be distributed over compon...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have recently become very popular by solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an extension of the hybrid genetic algorithm f...
This paper deals with transport user equilibrium. A modified version of the ant colony system is proposed where the ant colony heuristic is adapted in order to take into account a...
