The two-fold purpose of our research is to develop mathematical programming tools for the
optimal or near-optimal design of a new type of network architecture called the Wavelength …

The problem of designing a logical topology over a wavelength-routed all-optical network
(AON) physical topology is studied. The physical topology consists of the nodes and fiber …

The authors consider the wavelength-division optical network (WON), a generalization of the
ShuffleNet concept. Motivated by the potential drawback of large delays in poorly designed …

We consider a wavelength-routed optical network operated as a lightpath-based virtual
topology. We present an exact linear programming formulation for the complete virtual …

In the past few years, there has been growing interest in wide area\All Optical Networks" with
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), using wavelength routing. Due to the huge …

We explore design principles for next-generation optical wide-area networks, employing
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and targeted to nationwide coverage. This optical …

This article presents a systemic method to generate and map an optimal virtual topology
onto a certain physical wide area optical fiber network so as to maximize the scaleup which …

We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
of our study, the agility is derived from sub-microsecond photonic switching and global …

For pt. I see ibid., vol. 6, no. 3, p. 12-27, 1992. A survey of wavelength-division-multiplexing
(WDM)-based local lightwave networks is presented. The general characteristics of multihop …

We consider the problem of constructing logical topologies over a wavelength-routed optical
network with no wavelength changers. We present a general linear formulation which …
