Grooming of Dynamic Traffic in WDM Star and Tree Networks Using Genetic Algorithm
<|reference_start|>Grooming of Dynamic Traffic in WDM Star and Tree Networks Using Genetic Algorithm: The advances in WDM technology lead to the great interest in traffic grooming problems. As traffic often changes from time to time, the problem of grooming dynamic traffic is of great practical value. In this paper, we discuss dynamic grooming of traffic in star and tree networks. A genetic algorithm (GA) based approach is proposed to support arbitrary dynamic traffic patterns, which minimizes the number of ADM's and wavelengths. To evaluate the algorithm, tighter bounds are derived. Computer simulation results show that our algorithm is efficient in reducing both the numbers of ADM's and wavelengths in tree and star networks.<|reference_end|>
