Abstract. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each installed on one or more SONET rings. A const...
—Energy consumption is a critical parameter in wireless healthcare systems which consist of battery operated devices such as sensors and local aggregators. The system battery lif...
To model and solve optimization problems arising in public transportation, data about the passengers is necessary and has to be included in the models in any phase of the planning...
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 ...
High efficiency in capacity utilization and fast restoration are two primary goals of survivable design in optical networks. Shared backup path protection has been shown to be effi...
