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 …

Future optical communication networks are expected to change radically during the next
decade. To meet the demanded bandwidth requirements, more dynamism, scalability and …

The management of multilayer networks is often a complex task, since each layer is typically
independently operated and maintained, and there is a lack of shared network resource …

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 …

Abstract The use of Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) technology in Elastic Optical
Networks (EONs) is a promising solution to improve the transport capability and flexibility …

The physical resource assignment problem in dynamic optical networks, often referred to as
the routing and wavelength assignment problem, is very important for the development of …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) using optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-
OFDM) technique are considered to be promising optical networks due to their ability to …

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 …

Artificial intelligence techniques may play a significant role in the control of elastic optical
networks by offering improved performance over traditional dynamic provisioning and …
