Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In lightwave networks based on Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, the logical network configuration can be changed by reassignment of the wavelengths to transmitters or receivers of network nodes. The reconfiguration can result in reducing the transit traffic on the network and then improve the network performance. We have already developed a heuristic algorithm based on greedy method to solve the network reconfiguration problems. This algorithm has a relatively short computational time. However, the quality of the heuristic solution is not good enouph. In this paper, we use meta-heuristics (modern heuristics), which include local search, genetic algorithm, and tabu search, to improve the quality of the solution. Then we compare the performance of these algorithms.
