Reconfigurable optical networks have emerged as a promising technology to efficiently
serve the fast-growing traffic produced by the digital society. This paper provides a survey of …

This paper presents a systematic approach to identify and quantify the types of structures
featured by packet traces in communication networks. Our approach leverages an …

Emerging optical technologies introduce opportunities to recon gure network topologies at
runtime. The resulting topological exibilities can be exploited to design novel demand-aware …

Traditionally, networks such as datacenter interconnects are designed to optimize worst-
case performance under arbitrary traffic patterns. Such network designs can however be far …

This paper studies the design of self-adjusting datacenter networks whose physical topology
dynamically adapts to the workload, in an online and demand-aware manner. We propose …

New optical technologies offer the ability to reconfigure network topologies dynamically,
rather than setting them once and for all. This is true in both optical wide area networks …

More and more networks are becoming reconfigurable: not just the routing can be
programmed, but the physical layer itself as well. Various technologies enable this …

The performance of many data-centric cloud applications critically depends on the
performance of the underlying datacenter network. Reconfigurable optical technologies …

By enhancing the traditional static network (eg, based on electric switches) with a dynamic
topology (eg, based on reconfigurable optical switches), emerging reconfigurable data …

Distributed computing has become a common practice nowadays, where recent focus has
been given to the usage of smart networking devices with in-network computing capabilities …
