In recent years, the bio-inspired solution has been employed to address routing optimization
issue intelligently without manual intervention. In this paper, we propose a novel Ant Colony …

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 …

Flexible optical network architectures are considered a very promising solution where
spectrum resources are allocated within flexible frequency grids. This paper presents a …

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 …

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

To make the use of spectrum more efficient in Elastic Optical Networks (EONs), there is the
possibility of using different levels of modulation for each request, which may increase the …

Space division multiplexing (SDM) allows for capacity expansion in the Elastic Optical
Network (EON) by providing different spatial paths in the same link for the lightpaths. Thus …

Meta-scheduling in lambda grids is often a complex task because it typically comprises the
discovery, monitoring, co-allocation, and orchestration of networking and computing …

In modern optical design, the calculation of optical merit function based on the ray tracing
would be impossible without the aid of a computer. Finding the optimal value of merit …

Soft computing is the fusion of different constituent elements. The main aim of this fusion to
solve real-world problems, which are not solve by traditional approach that is hard …
