This study focuses on the routing and Wavelength-Assignment (RWA) problem in
wavelength-routed optical WDM networks. Most of the attention is devoted to such networks …

The wave function of a composite system is defined in relativity on a space–time surface. In
the explicitly covariant light-front dynamics, reviewed in the present article, the wave …

We consider routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength-routed all-optical networks
(WAN) with circuit switching. The conventional approaches to address this issue consider …

Wavelength conversion has been proposed for use in wavelength-division multiplexed
networks to improve efficiency. This study highlights systems challenges and performance …

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology is emerging as the transmission and
switching mechanism for future optical mesh networks. In these networks it is desired that a …

We propose a new algorithm for the dynamic centralized wavelength assignment problem in
fixed-routing WDM networks without wavelength conversion. The blocking performance of …

We propose an on-line wavelength assignment algorithm for multi-fiber WDM networks, in
which lightpaths are established and released dynamically. For a given number of fibers per …

In simple wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) networks, a connection must be
established along a route using a common wavelength on all of the links along the route …

Wavelength division multiplexed point-to-point transport is becoming commonplace in wide
area networks. With the expectation that the next step is end-to-end networking of …

Waveband switching (WBS) has attracted attention from the optical networking industry for
its practical importance in reducing port count, the associated control complexity, and cost of …
