11th International Conference on Design of Reliable Communication Networks DRCN 2015 Kansas City, Missouri, USA March 24-27, 2015 http://www.drcn2015.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
DRCN is a well-established annual forum for scientists, engineers, designers and planners from industry, government and academia who have interests in the reliability and availability of communication networks and services. The conference covers topics from equipment and technology for survivability to network management & public policy, through theory and techniques for survivable and robust networks and application design. The aim of the conference is to bring together people from industry, government and academia in those disciplines in a lively forum. Extended version of accepted papers are targeted for consideration in a special issue of Springer¹s Journal of Network and Systems Management.
The 11th DRCN edition will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. The conference will be enriched by a set of tutorials and invited talks. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, systems-related and regulatory issues in the area of dependability and survivability of communication networks, end-systems and infrastructure.
Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following areas:
Network design and operational aspects: € Survivability of optical and multi-layer networks € Recovery techniques for IP routing and Layer-2 switching € Resilient wired access networks € Reliability of wireless access and mesh networking € Dependability of mobile networks € Network reliability and dependability in cloud computing and grid networks € Reliability and recovery of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) and Network (Function) Virtualization (NFV) € Self-healing and autonomic networks € Survivability Content Delivery Networks (CDN) and Information-Centric Networks (ICN) € Fault management, monitoring, and control € Resilience of multi-domain connections in the Internet € Management of survivable networks € Green Networking and reliability € Robust design of smart grid € Reliable Communication Networks for Real-Tme and Cyber Physical Systems
Theory and modeling: € Network reliability analysis € Methods and theory for survivable network and systems design, analysis and operation (including scalability and complexity) € Planning and optimization of reliable networks, systems, and services € Simulation/emulation techniques for network resilience € Modeling, design, and analysis techniques for integrated cyber security and survivability € Network modeling and security for distributed cyber-attack detection and identification in communication networks
Resiliency of network services: € Reliability requirements and metrics for individual users, businesses, and the society € Restoration of services under various types of failures € Network coding and reliability € Service differentiation based on recovery methods € Dependability of networked applications € Recovery of overlay and peer-to-peer networks € Application and service-specific survivability techniques € Reliability and resilience of data centre networks € Robustness of compound services
Broad context: € Communication networks as an element of critical infrastructures € Public policy issues for survivability and resilience € Standardization of network resilience and reliability € Network resilience combined with economics and commercial issues € Quality of experience and network survivability € Dependability and energy consumption trade-offs € Risk assessment formalisms and measurement caused by cyber-attacks on communication networks € Risk and reliability in the Internet and enterprise networks € Vulnerability analysis to natural disasters or physical attacks € Robust design against natural disasters or attacks € New and emerging threats
