A Parallel Multiobjective Approach based on Honey Bees for Traffic Grooming in Optical Networks

In this paper, we propose a parallel multiobjective approach based on the honey bees' behaviour for grooming low-speed traffic requests onto high-capacity optical channels. This problem of grooming low-speed traffic requests is known in the literature as the traffic grooming problem. This problem in mesh optical networks is an NP-hard problem, in which the solution time raises exponentially when t...
