Multihop lightwave networks are a means of utilizing the large bandwidth of optical fibers. In these networks, each node has a fixed number of transmitters and receivers connected...
In this paper, we discuss different signaling techniques for optical burst-switched networks. We develop a generalized signaling framework for optical burst-switched networks, whi...
Matching based on local brightness is quite limited, because
small changes on local appearance invalidate the
constancy in brightness. The root of this limitation is its
treatme...

— This paper presents the design and dimensioning optimization of a novel optical network structure, called the Petaweb, having a total capacity of several Pb/s (1015 bit/s). Its...
We address the problem of efficient circuit switching in wide area networks. The solution provided is based on finding optimal routes for lightpaths and semilightpaths. A lightpat...
