Transparent optical networks are the enabling infrastructure for converged multi-granular
networks in the Future Internet. The cross-layer planning of these networks considers …

In translucent optical networks, the physical layer impairments degrading the optical signal
are considered in the network planning. In this paper, we investigate the offline problem of …

Objective: Optical networks exploit the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) to meet the
ever-growing bandwidth demands of upcoming communication applications. This is …

This paper discusses merits and drawbacks of the Optical Burst Switching (OBS) paradigm,
which received so much attention by the academic research community. Since the topic is …

In the last years, the migration from 10 to 40/100 Gbps networks has been proposed as a
solution to increase the capacity of transparent optical networks. Initially, the replacement of …

This article addresses the problem of finding a static virtual topology design and flow routing
in transparent optical wavelength division multiplexing networks under a time-varying …

This paper investigates offline virtual topology design in transparent optical networks under
a multihour traffic demand. The main problem variant addressed here designs a …

In multi-hour network design, periodic traffic variations along time are considered in the
dimensioning process. Then, the non coincidence of traffic peaks along the day or the week …

This paper investigates offline planning and scheduling in transparent optical networks for a
given periodic traffic demand. The main objective is to minimize the number of transceivers …

This paper addresses offline virtual topology design in transparent optical networks under
given periodic traffic. We call this planning problem ldquoScheduled Virtual Topology …
