— We discuss the effect of physical impairments on manycasting service over optical burst-switched (OBS) networks. Signal quality degradation in manycast networks is an important...

Current means of providing loop-back recovery, which is widely used in SONET, rely on ring topologies, or on overlaying logical ring topologies upon physical meshes. Loop-back is d...
In this paper, we consider the fast simulation of traffic groomed optical networks, in which multiple sub-rate traffic streams may be carried on the same wavelength. For real-size...
Blocking probabilities in Wavelength Division Multiplex optical networks are hard to compute for realistic sized systems, even though analytical formulas for the distribution exis...
A class of interval-based temporal languages for uniformly representing and reasoning about actions and plans is presented. Actions are represented by describing what is true whil...
