RNDM 2009
International Workshop on Reliable
Networks Design and Modeling
12-14.10.2009, St. Petersburg, Russia
http://www.icumt.org/w-10.html
co-located with
International Conference on Ultra Modern
Telecommunications (ICUMT)
*** technically sponsored by IEEE ***
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleague,
The aim of the RNDM 2009 Workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from both academia and industry to present high-quality results in the area of reliable networks design and modeling.
We encourage you to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore (approved) and indexed in relevant databases.
The extended version of papers of special merit will be considered for possible fast track publication in the Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom). Paper submission deadline is June, 15 (2 weeks left).
Please find the attached pdf version of call for papers for more information.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jacek Rak, Ph.D.
RNDM 2009 General Chair

OVERVIEW:
Communication networks spanning large areas are subject to frequent failures, mostly being unintentional. The reasons include natural disasters, as well as human errors. However, many failures are now often the result of intentional interruptions, also referred to as malicious attacks. Network operators thus need their networks to be reliable. One of the means towards assuring the certain level of service reliability is to make the networks survivable, i.e. capable of providing the continuous service in the presence of failures.
WORKSHOP TOPICS:
The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
- wired/wireless network survivability,
- optical networks survivability,
- models and algorithms of survivable networks design and modeling,
- methods for measurement, evaluation, or validation of survivability,
- role of redundancy in survivable networks,
- design of dedicated/shared backup paths, p-cycles and other
structures,
- impact of detection accuracy and latency on survivability,
- fast service recovery,
- service resilience differentiation,
- theory and methods of reliability and availability,
- fault management and control in survivable networks,
- multilayer network survivability,
- survivability under traffic grooming in multilayer networks,
- coordination of multilayer survivability operations,
- restoration strategies under different types of failures,
- modeling malicious behaviour or attacks on networks,
- use of self-healing techniques in surviving attacks,
- self-regenerative networks.
PAPER SUBMISSION:
Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS (following the ICUMT 2009 link), or the direct link: http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7697&track=7237
The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to the IEEE instructions "Template and Instructions on How to Create Your Paper (DOC, 92KB)", available at: http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/
