RUGE RUGE, Ilber Adonayt; NUMPAQUE LOPEZ, Humberto; MEDINA MOYANO, Yelidza Nayive  and  ORTIZ ALVAREZ, Ingrid Carolina. Characterization and optimization of DWDM network design. Tecnura [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.34, pp.43-55. ISSN 0123-921X.

This project describes the DWDM network design using genetic-algorithm optimization techniques. The main purpose is to determine the minimum amount of optical amplifiers needed to operate a network as well as the exact location of each network link. The number of optical amplifiers is optimized since these components are extremely costly; their prices vary in the range of 20.000 to 60.000 euros depending on their power.

Keywords : Genetic algorithms; design; DWDM; link; optimization; net.
