Virtual Infrastructure Planning in Elastic Cloud Deploying Optical Networking

This paper studies energy efficient planning of elastic cloud deploying optical network infrastructures. An MILP model employing multi-service, multi-period considerations for virtualization of the underlying physical resources is proposed and validated achieving significant energy savings.
