Dimensioning of survivable WDM networks.

In this paper routing, planning of working capacity, rerouting, and planning of spare capacity in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks are investigated. Integer linear programming (ILP) and simulated annealing (SA) are used as solution techniques. A complex cost model is presented. The sp...
