Modeling WDM protocols and networks using the Artifex environment

摘要

Abstract: We present here the innovative application of Artifex modeling and simulation environment for the design of optical networks and protocols. Artifex is used to design discrete-event systems, with a visual representation of dynamics and very efficient discrete-event simulation and software generation. Artifex is a very stable and user- friendly environment that has been used, for example, in the design and simulation of traditional routers and switching network architectures.!17
