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 …

The exact contribution of this paper is a review of existing state‐of‐the‐art routing strategies
for optical burst switched networks developed by researchers to deal with burst contention …

The biggest challenge in MANETs is to find most efficient routing due to the changing
topology and energy constrained battery operated computing devices. It has been found that …

This work proposes two different distributed strategies for provisioning lightpaths in the
presence of optical physical-layer impairments in GMPLS networks. The first approach is a …

Crankback re-routing extensions can offer significant improvements in the successful setup
of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) by allowing new retries on alternate paths that circumvent …

Byzantine failures during the execution of the routing algorithm may degrade or disrupt the
normal operation of the network. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)-based routing algorithms …

Data transport infrastructures based on wavelength-routed optical networks are appealing to
the grid community because they can provide a reconfigurable and high-bandwidth network …

In this paper, we propose an ACO-based algorithm that can adaptively balance the network
load to mitigate congestion, and hence reduce the overall loss of packets in an OPS …

Because of the distributed control of the network, the dynamic nature of the traffic and the
unpredictability of a failure event, the flexibility and robustness of ant colony optimization …

This work proposes a novel routing algorithm for transparent optical networks, which is
based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) meta-heuristics. It takes into consideration the …
