—Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a probabilistic technique used for solving complex computational problems, such as finding optimal routes in networks. It has been proved to pe...
The problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks consists in routing a set of lightpaths and assigning a wavelength...

This paper addresses multicast routing in multi-hop optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). We consider a model in which multicast communication requests...
—Most research works in routing and design of optical networks assume that the optical medium can carry signals without any bit error. However, the physical impairments on the op...
In the present paper routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in optical WDM networks is discussed. Previous techniques on based on the integer linear programming and graph coloring...
