The ability to reserve network bandwidth is critical for the success of high-performance grid applications. While reservation of lightpaths in dynamically switched optical network...
Optical lenses, particularly those with long focal lengths, suffer from the problem of limited depth of field. Consequently, it is often difficult to obtain good focus for all obj...
—Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a probabilistic technique used for solving complex computational problems, such as finding optimal routes in networks. It has been proved to pe...
— Rerouting is a viable and cost-effective approach to decrease the blocking probability in legacy circuit-switched networks. We study lightpath rerouting in optical WDM networks...
—The IEC61499 standard is the first step towards the development of the next generation agile manufacturing systems where distribution, interoperability and re-configuration are ...
