Optical networks epitomize complex communication systems, and they comprise the
Internet's infrastructural backbone. The first of its kind, this book develops the mathematical …

Multimedia content is massively generated from various applications and devices, and
processed in cloud data centers. Multimedia service providers prefer that their data are …

This paper formulates a Stackelberg (N+ 1)-person non-cooperative game framework for
OSNR optimization in optical networks. We introduce cost functions with differentiated prices …

An efficient and intelligent resource allocation mechanism is the heart of any communication
networks. Based on previous work on non-cooperative game approach and direct …

Non-cooperative game theory is a powerful modeling tool for resource allocation problems
in modern communication networks. However, practical concerns of capacity constraints and …

The current trend in optical networks is to open the entire wholesale market to competition.
As a result, we will see, instead of a single big market player, optical transport networks …

This chapter provides and overview of routing and path coloring problems in all-optical
networks as noncooperative games. We focus on oblivious payment functions, that is …

An efficient and intelligent resource allocation mechanism is the heart of modern control and
management of engineering systems. A dynamic, distributed and online control algorithm is …
