Abstract: To increase the flexibility and the dynamism of communication networks, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has emerged as a challenging approach to decouple control and data planes, using a ...

Abstract: We present an optimal and efficient algorithm for finding a shortest path in an elastic optical network. The algorithm is an adaptation of the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm, where we take ...

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...
