Abstract
Nowadays, the most promising technology for designing optical networks is the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). This technique divides the huge bandwidth of an optical fiber link into different wavelengths, providing different available channels per link. However, when it is necessary to interconnect a set of traffic demands, a problem comes up. This problem is known as Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem, and due to its complexity (NP-hard problem), it is very suitable for being solved by using evolutionary computation. The selected heuristic is the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, an heuristic based on the behavior of honey bee foraging for nectar. To solve the Static RWA problem, we have applied multiobjective optimization, and consequently, we have adapted the ABC to multiobjective context (MOABC). New results have been obtained, that significantly improve those published in previous researches.
