Abstract

This paper presents a methodology which can be used to optimize the topology of an integrated circuit/packet-switched computer-communication network. This special kind of network possesses a circuit-switched backbone with various packet-switched local access networks feeding into the communications subnet. An iterative, heuristic approach is used to generate a sequence of suboptimal solutions in lieu of one optimal solution. Application of the methodology shows that it is a flexible tool that can be used to optimize the design of integrated networks.
