       This  technical  report  introduces  a  novel  traffic grooming
       algorithm  for  the connection establishment of deadline-driven
       requests  in  elastic  optical  networks,  named  Elastic Batch
       Grooming Algorithm. The algorithm grooms batches of requests to
       establish   lightpaths  with  diverse  bandwidth  demands  with 
       deadline   requirements.   Results   show  that  the  algorithm 
       significantly  reduces  the  blocking  ratio  and the number of
       demanded  transponder  when  compared  to traditional non-batch
       algorithms.
