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 …

Senior is an established core text in a field that is growing fast, and in which technology is
constantly evolving. The text succeeds in giving a practical introduction to the fundamentals …

In this paper, we propose a performance monitoring and failure prediction method in optical
networks based on machine learning. The primary algorithms of this method are the support …

Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) network, as an integration of optical fiber network and wireless access
network, has attracted intensive research interest and enjoyed significant growth in its …

Failures caused by disasters (eg, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) attacks, earthquakes,
hurricanes, etc.) can create huge amount of loss and disruptions in optical backbone …

The evolution toward grid and cloud computing as observed for over a decennium illustrates
the crucial role played by (optical) networks in supporting today's applications. In this paper …

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic survivable lightpath provisioning in optical
mesh networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). In particular, we focus …

This article provides a perspective on optical layer protection and restoration based on the
services offered by carriers using the optical layer. This is different from other viewpoints that …

The article first presents a broad overview of the fault management mechanisms involved in
deploying a survivable optical mesh network which employs optical crossconnects. We …
