Optical transmission systems exist ubiquitously in data center, access, metro and long-haul
networks, and are divided into different autonomous domains based on different carrier …

Optical system management software has been migrating toward software-defined
networking (SDN) methods and interfaces. The increased programmability of SDN promises …

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 …

The service provisioning in multi-domain software-defined elastic optical networks (SD-
EONs) is an interesting but difficult problem to tackle, because the basic problem of lightpath …

Recently, a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) has been proposed as a candidate
architecture for fifth-generation mobile communication. Fronthaul is a new segment in C …

One of the main features of 5G networks is the coordinated orchestration of both information
technology (IT) and connectivity resources. This enables the deployment of a flexible and …

The tremendous big data and IP traffic growth rate between interconnected Data Centers
(DC) and High Performance Computing (HPC) environments have imposed the need for …

Despite the research advances in intra-domain lightpath provisioning in Wavelength
Division Multiplexing networks, efficient and practical schemes for path computation and …

Translucent optical networks use sparsely located regenerator nodes to increase the optical
reach, otherwise limited by the physical layer impairments. Routing in translucent networks …

Survivability is a critical issue in high-capacity wavelength division multiplexing based
optical networks, since even a disruption for a very short time could result in the loss of a …
