We study the generic problem of path optimization for a critical infrastructure link between
two locations on the surface of the Earth in the vicinity of earthquake‐prone areas. The …

With the increasing social and economic reliance on the Internet and the significant
monetary and non-monetary societal cost associated with service interruption, network …

We consider shielding critical links to enhance the robustness of a network, in which
shielded links are resilient to failures. We first study the problem of increasing network …

This paper focuses on how to increase the availability of a backbone network with minimal
cost. In particular, the new framework focuses on resilience against natural disasters and is …

A geometric model of a physical network affected by a disaster is proposed and analyzed
using integral geometry (geometric probability). This analysis provides a theoretical method …

This paper focuses on an important and fundamental problem of connecting two points by a
cable, subject to a tradeoff between cost and earthquake survivability. In particular, we …

We describe a cost-effective approach to path planning for submarine cables connecting a
given site to an existing cable network on the Earth's surface. The objective is to minimize …

Submarine cables are indispensable in today's international data transmission. In the
process of submarine cable path planning, any factors that may potentially affect reliability …

In this article, we investigate the challenges in designing a communication network robust
against earthquake-induced disasters. Due to the heterogeneity of local geology conditions …

We study the problem of evaluating and improving the robustness of communication
networks against earthquake disasters. Earthquakes occur at various geographical locations …
