            Abstract : 
We present a heuristic algorithm to address the demand aggregation problem in DWDM optical networks employing shared ring protection. The algorithm decides the route and wavelength of each demand with the aim of minimizing the total number of optical line cards as well as reducing the total number of DWDM rings.
