Application-Aware Protection in DWDM Optical Networks

International audienceFast recovery time and reduced resource utilization are the two main criteria for determining the quality of survivability mechanism. Now it is well-known that link-based protection and path-based protection provide respectively a short recovery time and reduced use of resources. To benefit from the both of these saliencies, we propose in this paper to use these mechanisms simultaneously. Indeed, demands mandating shorter recovery time will be protected using link-based protection. Meanwhile other demands will be protected using path-based protection. Simulation results show that the proposed solution achieves a good trade-off between resource utilization and recovery time

Energy: A special bibliography with indexes, April 1974

This literature survey of special energy and energy related documents lists 1708 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system between January 1, 1968, and December 31, 1973. Citations from International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA) and Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) are grouped according to the following subject categories: energy systems; solar energy; primary energy sources; secondary energy sources; energy conversion; energy transport, transmission, and distribution; and energy storage. The index section includes the subject, personal author, corporate source, contract, report, and accession indexes
