DRCN 2009 - DESIGN OF RELIABLE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS 7TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP October 25-28, 2009 - Washington, D.C., USA http://www.drcn2009.org

PURPOSE: DRCN is a well established bi-lineal forum for scientists, engineers, designers and planners from industry and academy who have interest in reliability and availability of communication networks, end systems and related topics. From equipment and technology for survivability to network management and public policy, through theory and techniques for survivable and robust network and application design, the aim of the conference is to bring together people from those disciplines in a lively forum. We hope you will join us in Washington, D.C. USA during October 25-28, 2009.

SCOPE: 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 of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Methodologies, equipment and technology for wired/wireless network survivability * Basic methods and theory for survivable network and systems design, modeling and operation * Multi-Layer and differentiation protection * Fault management, monitoring and control * Security issues in network reliability and its interdependence to survivability * Applications and services oriented survivability techniques (e.g, P2P, multicast) * Restoration of services under different types of failures * Public policy issues for survivability and resilience * Reliability to emerging technologies, (e.g., data centers, SCADA and process control systems) * Survivable network management and/or network planning * Network resiliency to software attacks

PAPER SUBMISSION: Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. All papers for DRCN 2009 must be submitted electronically via the EDAS system http://edas.info/. Please refer to the DRCN website for detailed instructions on preparing and submitting the manuscript. All papers will be peer reviewed by three TPC members. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE. Pagelength is limited to 8-pages in two-column IEEE format.

Proposals for Tutorials are also being solicited. Tutorials (half-day sessions) are intended to provide in-depth learning on a specific topic of interest to the participants. Proposals for Tutorials should consist of 1000 words summary, a 150 word abstract, and a cover page listing the details of the presenter(s). Please contact the tutorial chair (email: yqian@ieee.org) directly to submit proposals for tutorials, before May 15, 2009.

IMPORTANT DATES: April 1, 2009 Full Paper submission May 15, 2009 Tutorial proposals due June 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance August 15, 2009 Camera Ready Final paper due
