Recently a class of scalable multi-star optical networks is proposed in [2]. In this class of networks nodes are grouped into clusters. Each cluster employs a separate pair of bro...
—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...
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...
The intricacy of security administration is one of the most challenging problems in large networked systems. This problem is especially serious in the Web environment, which consi...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the issues related to task attribute assignment on an individual processor. The majority of papers on fixed priority scheduling make th...
