Computer modeling process of project management based on Monte Carlo simulation of average quantum mechanical wave function of the project milestone predicting the project delay or project cost increase, based on presenting project milestones as superposition of wave functions of all tasks, averaged over multiple project samples, with each task's duration randomly distributed around its scheduled value.

Computer modeling of project management process

The method and system for managing a project with multiple tasks and milestones by defining probabilities of key project events and assessing their performance risk. Each task of the project is described as a waveform propagating from this task to an assigned milestone, and each milestone is described as a coherent superposition of task waveforms. The probability of any milestone is obtained by comparison of probabilities of non-perturbed and perturbed milestone, which caused by delay of a task or combination of tasks.

A phase conjugation vectoring (PCV) of signals propagating in telephone cables of twisted pairs provides crosstalk free transmission therethrough. The cable is considered a non-uniform physical media, and criteria for phase conjugation of electromagnetic fields are established.

Method and system thereof for transmission of several coherence division multiplexed (CDM) optical signals via one wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) transmission channel of a multichannel WDM telecommunication system to extend the network capacity to a theoretical limit. A broadband optical source generates light within the spectral range of at least one WDM transmission channel. Several CDM channels share this spectral range to transmit and detect phase modulated optical signals through optical fiber links.

Multichannel optical communication system and method utilizing wavelength and coherence division multiplexing

A system and method for transmission of data modulated spectrally enriched optical pulses via an error free propagation region of an optical fiber, in which the optical pulses generated by an optical transmitter have a spectrum that is substantially wider than the spectrum of Fourier-transform limit at an input of the error-free propagation region. The spectral width of the optical pulses gradually narrows while transmitting along this region and becomes comparable to the Fourier-transform limit at an output of this region. Linear and non-linear distortions are compensated within the error free propagation region respectively by deployment of dispersion compensating units and phase modulation of transmitted optical pulses for providing them with an appropriate frequency chirp having shape comparable with a frequency chirp induced by a self-phase modulation of the optical fiber but having opposite sign.

In a mixed WDM/SONET network having optical and SONET layers, the communication between these layers is provided by optoelectronic units. The optical layer of the mixed network is presented by a WDM equipment and a service restoration system which utilizes optical switches and protects the mixed network from loss of the WDM traffic. The optoelectronic units monitor WDM and SONET traffic and control optical switches by utilizing a WDM/SONET adapter for communicating information between WDM and SONET equipment. The WDM/SONET adapter generates temporary SONET signals and passes these signals through the WDM and SONET equipment, and a service channel for transmitting control signals from the WDM/SONET adapter to the optical switches.

The invented method and devices address signal regeneration and all-optical switching in optical fiber transmission lines. In modern optical networks, after several stages of optical amplification, the noise accumulation requires regeneration e.g. translation to electronic domain. A new type of optical repeater and optical switch are suggested to perform regeneration and switching on the optical level. The main component of the devices is an optical cavity implanted into a section of the optical fiber and bounded by fiber gratings. In the optical repeater, the fiber cavity is nonlinear; at resonant frequency, the cavity almost totally rejects the noise and transmits the signal. In the optical switch, the fiber cavity is linear; depending on the cavity tuning, the signal may be transmitted through the cavity or reflected and redirected to an appropriate switch port.
