  • Abstract
    The problem of Fiber Installation in Optical Network Optimization consists in routing a set of lightpaths (all-optical connections), such that the cost of the optical components necessary to operate the network is minimized. We propose a genetic algorithm with random keys that extends the best heuristic in the literature by embedding it into an evolutionary framework. Computational results showed that the new heuristic improves the best heuristic in the literature.
