Summary
Planning, deploying, and engineering the networks that make up the Internet infrastructure involves complex problems referred to generically as “network design” problems. Effective and efficient solutions to network design problems are crucial to the operation and economics of the Internet and its ability to support critical and reliable communication services. This is especially true for optical networks that form the foundation of the global network infrastructure. This project develops new capabilities for the design and operation of optical networks that underlie ubiquitous Internet connec
