Active data warehousing has emerged as an alternative to conventional warehousing
practices in order to meet the high demand of applications for up-to-date information. In a …

Routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) problem, in elastic optical networks, searches for a
route and a sufficient spectrum range to fit each network request. Solving these two …

In this work, the Preventive Assignment of Regenerator (PAR) algorithm is proposed for
regenerator allocation in translucent optical networks. The objective of this proposal is to …

In this paper we show that the adoption of a simple weighted ordering heuristic strategy to
find fixed shortest path routes in a topology can improve load-balancing and, consequently …

Resource efficiency and survivability are critical concerns in elastic optical networks (EONs)
with virtualization. In this paper, we investigate some important aspects in network …

The elastic optical networks, aka, flexgrid networks, have flexible spectrum allocation. Such
flexibility is possible due to the division of the spectrum into narrow frequency slots and the …

This paper proposes heuristics, which can maximize the number of remaining available
routes and minimize the number of transceivers used in Elastic Optical Networks (EON). The …

The introduction of elastic optical networks (EONs) leads to new challenges, such as the
problem of routing, modulation level, and spectrum assignment. In the literature, the best …

One of the most promising solutions to deal with huge data traffic demands in large
communication networks is given by flexible optical networking, in particular the flexible grid …

In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid strategy that combines mixed integer linear
programming (MILP) formulation with different alternative routing approaches that is capable …
