The transmission reach of signals in optical transmission systems is limited. To go beyond
these transparent reach limits, signal regeneration is necessary to re-amplify, reshape, and …

In the last twenty years, optical networks have witnessed recurrent changes in their
management and control architecture. In this paper, we present a historical timeline and a …

Online learning has shown to be successful in tracking-by-detection of previously unknown
objects. However, most approaches are limited to a bounding-box representation with fixed …

In wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, the bandwidth request of a
traffic stream can be much lower than the capacity of a lightpath. Efficiently grooming low …

We consider routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength-routed all-optical networks
(WAN) with circuit switching. The conventional approaches to address this issue consider …

Wavelength conversion has been proposed for use in wavelength-division multiplexed
networks to improve efficiency. This study highlights systems challenges and performance …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of contention-resolution schemes in a
multiwavelength optical packet-switched network. This investigation aims to provide a …

In this paper we study an alternate network architecture, called translucent network, to the
fully transparent and fully opaque network architectures. In a translucent wavelength-routed …

In this paper, the optical composite burst switching (OCBS) technique is proposed to be
implemented in an all-optical backbone network to support Internet protocol (IP) traffic. The …

This paper investigates survivable lightpath provisioning and fast protection switching for
generic mesh-based optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …
