Traditionally, research on routing and wavelength assignment over wavelength-routed WDM
networks is concerned with immediate reservation (IR) demands. An IR demand typically …

Bandwidth reservation can effectively improve the service quality for data transfers because
of dedicated network resources. However, it is difficult to achieve a desired tradeoff between …

Data-intensive e-science collaborations often require the transfer of large files with
predictable performance. To meet this need, we design novel admission control (AC) and …

Tight coordination of resource allocation among end points in Grid networks often requires a
data mover service to transfer a voluminous dataset from one site to another in a specified …

In this paper, we propose to facilitate efficient bulk-data transfer in elastic optical networks
(EONs) with malleable reservation (MR). The MR scheme performs adjustable routing and …

We introduce the concept of elastic reservation of bandwidth capacity to mitigate the
problem of bandwidth fragmentation in LambdaGrids and present a network model which …

Domain analysis makes a necessary contribution in supporting systematic reuse: a focus on
understanding and modeling common capabilities within related software applications and …

Advance reservation of lightpaths in grid environments is necessary to guarantee QoS and
reliability. In this paper, we have evaluated and compared several algorithms for dynamic …

Many future Internet applications supported over optical networks may require large
amounts of guaranteed bandwidth between two remote end hosts, but this bandwidth may …

Elastic optical networking is a promising technology for the next generation of optical core
networks and the routing, modulation and spectrum assignment (RMSA) problem is one of …
