Abstract :
The paper presents an application of genetic algorithms to wavelength assignment in all-optical networks with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Two approaches, the shortest path routing and optimized routing are considered. The assignment results for a case study, a core part of the European Optical Network, are presented
