title = "Approaches to maximize the open capacity of elastic optical networks",
abstract = "This paper proposes a linear formulation and an iterative heuristic, both with traffic grooming capability, which can maximize the number of remaining available routes and minimize the number of transceivers in Elastic Optical Networks (EON). The aim of the proposal is to preserve the open capacity for the accommodation of future unknown demands. Case studies are carried out in order to analyze the basic properties of the formulation in a small network, and the heuristic is used for moderate larger networks. The results suggest that it is feasible to preserve enough open capacity to avoid blocking of future requests in EON with scarce resources.",
