In this special issue devoted to the memory of Prof. Fabio Neri we would like to look back at
the time of the international research projects where some of us collaborated with him. On …

Optical networking paradigms based on statistical multiplexing, such as Optical Burst
Switching or Optical Packet Switching, require the adoption of suitable contention resolution …

This book provides a broad overview of IP over WDM technologies, as seen by a group of
experts participating in the e-Photon/ONeC and BONE Networks of Excellence funded within …

The most promising solutions to increase bandwidth efficiency in IP over DWDM networks
are represented by Optical Packet and Burst Switching. Due to the statistical multiplexing …

There has been a large amount of research on speech driven face animation. Particularly,
recently research efforts have been demonstrated that the hidden Markov model techniques …

Optical burst and packet switching are being considered as the most promising paradigms to
increase bandwidth efficiency in IP over DWDM networks. In both cases, due to statistical …

This chapter provides an outline of the main concepts and issues related to optical packet
switching (OPS). The basic network functions required by this paradigm are discussed and …

The systematical and scalable frameworks were provided for estimating the blocking
probabilities under asynchronous traffic in optical burst switching (OBS) nodes with limited …

First, the optical burst switching (OBS) network with limited wavelength conversion capability
(LWCC) is decomposed into multiple wavelength continuous segments according to the …

This paper reports a summary of the joint research activities on Optical Core Networks within
the e-Photon-ONe+ project. It provides a reasonable overview of the topics considered of …
