A response to the exhaustion of fiber-optic cable network capacity for digital telecommunication and the resulting shift from time-division multiplexing (TDM) to wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) to add capacity, and the rapid sales of the new technology. Theorists and practitioners in computer science present 17 papers applying theoretical and algorithmic results to such practical problems as admissions control, routing and channel assignments, multicasting and protection, and fault-tolerance. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
