Abstract-- Security issues and attack management in transparent WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical networks has become of prime importance to network operators due to t...
We address the issue of inapproximability of the wavelength assignment problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. We prove that in an n-node WDM optical ne...
— We present a review of the various integer linear programming (ILP) formulations that have been proposed for the routing and wavelength assignment problem in WDM optical networ...

In optical networks, the traditional routing problem is generally decoupled into two subproblems, the route selection and the wavelength assignment. Usual RWA (Routing and Wavelen...
We consider the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in survivable WDM network. A path protection scheme assumed and two different wavelength assignment methods for protection p...
—In this paper, we consider the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in all-optical networks, where signals propagate in the optical domain (with no electrical rege...
Efficient routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in wavelength-routed all-optical networks is critical for achieving high efficiency over the backbone links. Extensive research ha...
