Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) consist of special kind of wireless mobile nodes which
form a temporary network without using any infrastructure or centralized administration …

Optical networks are moving from opaque and translucent architectures towards all-optical
(transparent) architectures. In translucent architectures a small amount of regeneration (eg …

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

Ant colony optimization, a swarm intelligence technique, inspired by the foraging behavior of
ants in colonies was used in the past research works to compute the optimal path. The …

In this paper, an optical network optimization based on particle swarm intelligence is
described. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is evocated in order to solve the …

The ant colony optimization for continuous domains (ACO R) approach is deployed in order
to solve two resource allocation (RA) optimization problems associated to the signalto-noise …

In all-optical WDM networks, feasibility of a lightpath are determined by physical layer
impairment accumulation. Physical layer impairment-aware routing and wavelength …

In this work, the performance of a distributed power control algorithm (DPCA), based on the
Verhulst model for signal-to-noise plus interference ratio (SNIR) optimization in optical code …

Physical impairments, such as noise and signal distortions, negatively affect the quality of
information transfer in optical networks. The effect of physical impairments predominantly …

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) …
