Since light-paths are the basic connections in wavelength routed networks, their effective
establishment is very important. Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) techniques …

Ethernet's success in local area networks (LANs) is fueling the efforts to extend its reach to
cover metro and long-haul networks. This new Ethernet is refereed to as Carrier Ethernet …

Today's Transparent Optical Networks (TONs) are highly vulnerable to various physical-
layer attacks, such as high-power jamming, which can cause severe service disruption or …

In emerging multi-bit-rate wavelength switched optical networks (WSONs), the coexistence
of lightpaths operating at different bit-rates and modulation formats (eg, based on amplitude …

We propose a methodology to design the link cost function and, consequently, a systematic
form to design a RWA algorithm. We call this methodology link cost function design (LCFD) …

The quality of an optical signal degrades due to physical layer impairments as it propagates
from a transmitter to a receiver. As a result, the signal quality at the receiver of a lightpath …

A quality-of-transmission-(QoT-) aware routing and wavelength assignment (RWA)
technique suitable for multifiber wavelength-routed all-optical networks supporting class …

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) creates new infrastructure at the edges of the mobile
networks, thus providing transformative opportunities for applications seeking latency …

Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) is one of the important non-traditional
machining processes for machining of intricate profiles in conductive and difficult to machine …

New Internet applications are increasingly generating high-bandwidth and short-lived
demands. If network resources are available, establishing a lightpath on demand only takes …
