Large bandwidth on hand in WDM networks is the best choice for increasing tra c demand; although, routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problems still remain a challenge. This work proposes a novel method to solve multicast-RWA problems, using multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), implementing four competitive ap- proaches of state-of-the-art. Such algorithms minimize simultaneously the hop count, the number of splitting power light, the number of split- ter node and the balancing of multicast tree for a given set of multicast demands. This way, a set of optimal solutions (known as Pareto set) is obtained in one run of the algorithms, without a priori restrictions. Sim- ulation results prove the viability of the PSO proposal and the advantage compared on classical approaches as Multicast Open Shortest Path First routing algorithm and Least Used wavelength assignment algorithm.IV Workshop Arquitectura, Redes y Sistemas Operativos (WARSO)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI)
