In all-optical networks where the technique of wavelength division multiplexing is employed, a connection between two nodes is established by first choosing a route connecting these two nodes and then assigning a wavelength to that route. Many connections can share the same physical link, provided that they use different wavelengths. One technology usually employed in order to make more efficie...

INTRODUCTION IN JUST 50 YEARS, the computer has revolutionized our lives, and our futures. But one problem remains: the interface between computer and mind. This is the Big Barrier, and it is almost impenetrable today as it was in those early days when we used paper tapes. The race is on to breach the Big Barrier. Researchers in industry and academia are seeking new, more expensive ways to comm...

This work addresses the quality of service (QoS) analysis and optimization of TV-resolution MPEG-2 video streams to be transmitted over packet networks facing a given packet loss probability. The first contribution of this work resides in the analysis of the end-to-end QoS of MPEG-2 video streams transmitted over a lossy packet network. We address the problem of video quality prediction and con...
