This is a tutorial paper on the traffic grooming optimization in mesh Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks for static traffic patterns. The traffic grooming technique provides a two-layer traffic engineering capability by aggregating and routing low-bandwidth traffic flows from the upper layer over re-configurable highbandwidth connections in the lower layer. This paper demonstrates ...

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of existing techniques for interconnect optimizationduring the VLSI physical design process, with emphasis on recent studies on interconnect design and optimization for high-performance VLSI circuit design under the deep submicron fabrication technologies. First, we present a number of interconnect delay models and driver/gate delay models of various d...

Background & Aims of the Study:  Collection and transportation of municipal solid waste (MSW) for various reasons, especially economic and social are considered as one of the most important elements of the solid waste management system. More than sixty percent of the costs in solid waste management systems in different countries are due to the collection and transportation...

The performance of the networks is analyzed based on the routing protocols. Usually routing protocols determine the paths based on the network topology and configuration parameters, and not depend on the traffic load on the routers and links. Routing optimization is done using Genetic Algorithm in Minimum Spanning Tree (MST). By using FACE Routing technique, each node is able to gather the loca...

vehicle routing problem (vrp) is one of the major problems in the transportation and distribution planning. in the most previous studies, the objective of vrp models was distance and vehicle related costs. however in many industrial cases along with routing distance, vehicle loading amount is a factor of cost function. in this paper, we formulate a mixed integer non-linear programming (minlp) m...

Swarm Intelligence is an emerging area that has recently captured much attention in the field of network routing. In addition to conventional approaches, many new researches have proposed the implementation of Swarm Intelligence for WSN routing. Routing based on SI, is adaptive and dynamic in nature. In this paper, bioinspired routing protocols have been discussed. In this work a study and evol...

Multicast services have been increasingly used in large scale continuous media applications. The quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of these continuous media applications prompt the necessity for QoS-driven, constraint-based multi-cast routing. This article provides a comprehensive overview of existing multicast routing algorithms, protocols, and their QoS extension. In particular, we classi...

MANET routing protocol based on P2P has become a hot topic, but mainly researches on small or medium MANET did not take full advantage of P2P distributed share theory, there still exist detour and inefficiency problems. This paper presents large-scale MANET distributed share routing model based on P2P. It introduces layered mechanism based on network physical topology to enhance network scalabi...
