Abstract

HiperionCAD is a computer aided design (CAD) software which allows the design and optimization of optical networks. The tool has been developed by means of the model driven development (MDD) approach. A graphical modeling framework (GMF) has been employed to model the domain, automatic code generation and graphic edition of the object models. We introduce the idea of a different CAD tool for design and optimization of optical network. The optimization of each component parameters comprising the network is performed using a genetic algorithm (GA) and the feasibility of this GA implementation is discussed by considering the different procedures. This paper is focused on describing the main characteristics and a demonstration of the implemented HiperionCAD tool for the optimization of optical networks by GA implementation.
