ab: Summary: In optical WDM networks, a fiber failure may result in a serious
    amount of data loss, hence, designing survivable virtual topologies is
    a critical problem. We propose four different hyper-heuristic
    approaches to solve this problem, each of which is based on a different
    category of nature inspired heuristics: evolutionary algorithms, ant
    colony optimization, simulated annealing, and adaptive iterated
    constructive search are used as the heuristic selection methods in the
    hyper-heuristics. Experimental results show that, all proposed
    hyper-heuristic approaches are successful in designing survivable
    virtual topologies. Furthermore, the ant colony optimization based
    hyper-heuristic outperforms the others.
