Abstract:This work deals with the survivable optical network design problem for static multicast traffic, subject to simple node fails. Given a set of multicast request, it is proposed an algorithm based on Multi-Ojective Ant Colony Optimization which tries to find the best network design, as well as the primary and back-up multicast trees, with protection against node fails. The proposed algorithm simultaneously minimizes the network design cost and the maximum end-to-end optical delay. The experimental results over d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
