For several decades, optical networks, due to their high capacity and long-distance
transmission range, have been used as the major communication technology to serve …

Infrastructure resilience has drawn significant attention in recent years, partly because the
occurrence of low-probability and high-consequence disruptive events like Hurricane …

Recent natural disasters have revealed that emergency networks presently cannot
disseminate the necessary disaster information, making it difficult to deploy and coordinate …

We consider line outages in the transmission network of the power grid, and specifically
those caused by natural disasters or large-scale physical attacks. In such networks, an …

Many real world complex systems such as critical infrastructure networks are embedded in
space and their components may depend on one another to function. They are also …

Survivability against disasters—both natural and deliberate attacks, and spanning large
geographical areas—is becoming a major challenge in communication networks. Cloud …

With the frequent occurrences of natural disasters damaging large portions of
communication networks and the rising risk of intentional attacks, network vulnerability to …

Disasters can cause severe service disruptions due to large-scale correlated cascading
failures in telecom networks. Major network disruptions due to disasters-both natural (eg …

Failures caused by disasters (eg, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) attacks, earthquakes,
hurricanes, etc.) can create huge amount of loss and disruptions in optical backbone …

This paper focuses on line failures in the transmission system of power grids. Recent large-
scale power outages demonstrated the limitations of percolation-and epidemic-based tools …
