—Existing research demonstrated that an effective Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) scheme and a wavelength converter placement algorithm are the two primary vehicles for i...
— Distributed wavelength provisioning is becoming one of the most important technologies for supporting the nextgeneration wavelength-routed networks. In this paper we analyze th...
A fundamental assumption underlying most studies of optical burst switched (OBS) networks is that full wavelength conversion is available throughout the network. In practice, howev...
We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area networks. The solution provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and semilightpaths. A lightpat...
