    abstract     = "We present here a full multifibre optical {WDM} network design problem
formulated as an integer linear problem. The design problem consists
in laying out ducts, fibres, routes, and wavelengths, given a set
of nodes, the duct and fibre prices, and the traffic demands. We
compare different methods for solving the design problem. These are
integer linear programming, simulated annealing, and simulated
allocation. We find that integer linear programming is useful for
benchmarking other algorithms on small networks that consist of less
than 7 nodes. For larger networks that cannot be handled by integer
linear program solvers, we find that simulated allocation is more
promising than simulated annealing. Further we include path
protection in the problem formulation and solution."
