Reconfigurable optical networks have emerged as a promising technology to efficiently
serve the fast-growing traffic produced by the digital society. This paper provides a survey of …

For several decades, optical networks, due to their high capacity and long-distance
transmission range, have been used as the major communication technology to serve …

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 …

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

We provide network designs for optical add-drop wavelength-division-multiplexed (OADM)
rings that minimize overall network cost, rather than just the number of wavelengths needed …

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 …

Path layer technologies will play a key role in the development of a powerful and failure
resilient B-ISDN. So far, they have been based on electrical technologies. This paper …

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 …

In this paper we discuss the optimal design of logical topologies in alloptical WDM networks.
We rst explain the key aspects of the problem, and provide a mixed integer linear …

This paper describes an architecture for controlling a wavelength-routed optical network.
The optical network provides reconfigurable connections that can be used to carry different …
