- Buy-at-Bulk Network Design With Protection
- This paper considers approximation algorithms for buy-at-bulk network design, with the additional constraint that demand pairs be protected against edge or node failures in the network. In practice, the most popular model used in high speed telecommunication networks for protection against failures, is the so-called 1+1 model. In this model,...

- Multiobjective Network Design for Realistic Traffic Models
- Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume simplistic traffic models like Poisson. Such assumptions make the solutions inapplicable in the practical world. This paper formulates and solves a multiobjective network...

- Practical Large-Scale Network Design With Variable Costs for Links and Switches
- This paper considers communication network design problems that arise in the real world, with large numbers of nodes and link and switch costs dependent upon their traffic capacity. Such costs, in turn, depend upon network topology so are not fixed at the start of, or through, any optimisation process. Realistic...

- On Survivable Access Network Design: Complexity and Algorithms
- With economic constraints and limited routing capability, the structure of an access network is typically a "fat tree", where the terminal has to relay the traffic from another terminal of the same or higher level. New graph theory problems naturally arise from such features of access network models, different from...
