                           Call for Papers

                              RNDM 2010

                2nd International Workshop on Reliable
                     Networks Design and Modeling

                    18-20.10.2010, Moscow, Russia

                          http://www.rndm.pl
                     
                     co-located with ICUMT 2010

                     technically co-sponsored by
                          IFIP TC6 and IEEE

---------------------------------------------------------------------
                   EDAS paper submission is now open!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

RNDM 2010 is the second meeting in the series of RNDM workshops. Following the success of the first event that took place in St. Petersburg, Russia (http://www.rndm.pl/rndm09/rndm09final.pdf), RNDM 2010 is aimed at attracting world-class participants from both academia and industry working in the area of reliable networks design and modeling.
Special attention will be paid to network survivability, i.e. the capability to deliver essential services in the presence of failures. Therefore, the workshop will focus on methods of survivable networks design and modeling, including the issues of dedicated/shared backup paths, p-cycles, fast service recovery, service resilience differentiation, survivability of multilayer networks and others.

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 on 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. All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. Paper submission and review will be done via EDAS (http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8823&track=9505). The maximum length of submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages formatted according to the IEEE instructions available at http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/

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