Containing a summary of several recent results on Markov-based input modeling in a
coherent notation, this book introduces and compares algorithms for parameter fitting and …

Telecommunications networks, and in particular optical WDM networks, are vulnerable to
large-scale failures in their physical infrastructure, resulting from physical attacks (such as …

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 …

This paper uses stochastic optimisation techniques to allocate scarce national resource
across eight cities to best respond to three simultaneous disasters happening across these …

We study a network improvement problem to increase the resilience of a transportation
network against disasters. This involves optimizing pre-disaster investment decisions to …

Natural disasters and cascading events have historically caused severe disruptions of the
electric power system. For instance, in 2012, hurricane Sandy left over 8 million people in …

Cellular networks have become one of the critical infrastructures, as many services depend
increasingly on wireless connectivity. Therefore, it is important to quantify the resilience of …

In recent years, survivability of optical communication networks against large-scale disaster
failures has been studied. The survivability analyses done by most of the studies are based …

Designing survivable communication networks to achieve carrier-grade five-nines reliability
is of paramount importance for the network operators. This article addresses service …
