The loT (Internet of things) is emerging as a wide variety of devices are attached to the
Internet to support ubiquitous and pervasive sensing and computing, home automation, and …

There is a need for new architectures and designs of resilient networked systems that are
capable of supporting critical services and infrastructures. The arguments have previously …

Communication network failures that are caused by disasters, such as hurricanes,
earthquakes and cyber-attacks, can have significant economic and societal impact. To …

An inherent problem in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is the Controller Placement
Problem, which addresses how many controllers to deploy in the network, and where to …

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 …

Common daily activities rely on information exchange and processing. Optical fiber links are
the predominant way for transmitting vast amounts of data, thus enabling processing in …

Abstract In Software-Defined Networking (SDN), the control and data planes are decoupled,
leading to a more programmable and efficient network management. In this paper, the …

In this paper we present a novel framework for disaster resilience, called FRADIR, which
incorporates reliable network design, disaster failure modeling and protection routing in …

Telecommunication networks are a critical infrastructure of our society. Wide area backbone
communication networks are based on optical networks, where each fiber has a very large …
