Call for Papers

Pdf version of First Announcement:

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to present the high-quality results in the area of reliable networks design and modeling.

The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
  • coordination of multilayer survivability operations,
  • design of dedicated/shared backup paths,
  • fast service recovery,
  • fault management and control in survivable networks,
  • impact of detection accuracy and latency on survivability,
  • methods for measurement, evaluation, or validation of survivability,
  • modeling malicious behaviour or attacks on networks,
  • models and algorithms of survivable networks design and modeling,
  • multilayer network survivability,
  • optical networks survivability,
  • p-cycles and other protection structures,
  • restoration strategies under different types of failures,
  • role of redundancy in survivable networks,
  • self-regenerative networks,
  • service resilience differentiation,
  • survivability of anycast and multicast networks,
  • survivability of P2P and overlay systems,
  • survivability under traffic grooming in multilayer networks,
  • theory and methods of reliability and availability,
  • use of self-healing techniques in surviving attacks,
  • wired/wireless network survivability.
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in the area of reliable networks design and modeling. All submitted papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in relevant databases. Papers submission will be done via EDAS (available soon). The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to the instructions Template and Instructions on How to Create Your Paper (DOC, 92KB)

Extended version of papers of special merit will be considered for publication in a Journal Special Issue. A Best Paper Award will be given.
