In this paper, we propose an ant-based algorithm for dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in WDM optical networks under the wavelength continuity constraint. By adopting...
—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...
— Although many multicast routing algorithms have been proposed in order to reduce the total cost in WDM optical networks, the link stress and delay are two parameters which are ...
— We study the complexity of a spectrum of design problems for optical networks in order to carry a set of demands. Under wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, deman...
We consider the routing for a special type of communication requests, called a multicast, consisting of a fixed source and a multiset of destinations in a wavelength division mult...
