ABSTRACT
We
propose a simple, robust and efficient genetic algorithm for the
problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in WDM optical
networks. The algorithm extends the best heuristic in the literature
(Skorin-Kapov, 2007) by embedding it into an evolutionary framework.
Experimental results show that, on average, the genetic algorithm
improves the performance of a multi-start variant of the Skorin-Kapov
heuristic by 24.3%.
