In this tutorial, we give an introduction to optical burst switching and compare it with other
existing optical switching paradigms. Basic burst assembly algorithms and their effect on …

Over the past several years, a significant amount of research has been conducted in the
areas of optical packet switching (OPS) and optical burst switching (OBS). This research has …

The approximate degree of a Boolean function f:{-1,1\}^n→{-1,1\} is the least degree of a real
polynomial that approximates f pointwise to error at most 1/3. We introduce a generic …

The railroad industry is an infrastructure intensive industry that relies on significant amounts
of information and data to operate and maintain each railroad. Using the US railroad …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is considered as a contending technology for the core of the
Internet in future. However, due to lack of the buffers, losses occur due to contention among …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is an emerging technology that allows variable size data
bursts to be transported directly over dense wavelength division multiplexing links. In order …

Contention is the main problem in optical burst switching (OBS) systems that lead to loss
more burst by dropping the contended burst. To deal with this problem, we propose a new …

Optical burst switching (OBS) is the promising area it can meet the bandwidth requirement of
bandwidth intensive application. OBS is switching technique for the next generation optical …

In this paper, the performance of proposed optical burst assembly technique is
experimentally investigated under self-similar traffic and traditional scheduling techniques to …

A key problem in OBS networks is the assignment of wavelengths to incoming bursts, ie the
scheduling of bursts. In this paper, we propose an efficient scheduling technique: Modified …
