Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based cross-connects are widely used for all-
optical switching in recent optical networks. This paper provides a brief overview of various …

The evolution toward grid and cloud computing as observed for over a decennium illustrates
the crucial role played by (optical) networks in supporting today's applications. In this paper …

We describe two applications of machine learning in the context of internet protocol
(IP)/Optical networks. The first one allows agile management of resources in a core …

Scaling the capacity while maintaining low latency and power consumption is a challenge
for hierarchical data center networks (DCNs) based on electrical switches. In this work we …

Next generation optical networks will require high levels of flexibility both at the data and
control planes, being able to fit rate, bandwidth, and optical reach requirements of different …

A reliable and robust routing service for Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) must be able to
adapt to topology changes. User experience on watching live video sequences must also be …

A reconfigurable photonic integrated transmitter, enabling dynamic resource allocation in
the metro-access network, is proposed. The device consists of a multicarrier sliceable …

A multiflow transponder in flex-grid optical networks has recently been proposed as a
transponder solution to generate multiple optical flows (or subcarriers). Multiflow …

We assess the performance of a modular photonic integrated circuit (PIC) for space and time
optical switching as an optical add-drop node for metro-access network applications. The …

Introduced to improve the spectral efficiency, time-frequency packing technique allows the
exploitation of different code rates, leading to different levels of spectral utilization and all …
