[DMANET] Call for Papers: Special Issue of the journal Networks on Robust Network Optimization

Call for Papers: Special Issue of the journal "Networks" on Robust Network
Optimization


Network parameters such as those defining the traffic matrix are generally
uncertain. This uncertainty is typically the result of two factors: the
intrinsic variability of the network parameters and the lack of information
about these parameters. Consequently, it is important to take uncertainty
into account when the network is designed or/and managed.

Robust Optimization is one of the techniques that can help to incorporate
uncertainty.


We would like to receive original, high-quality research papers that address
Robust Network Optimization. We are especially interested in submissions
contributing to the following areas:

- Robust routing under uncertainty.
- Resource assignment under uncertainty (dimensioning, provisioning,
wavelength assignment, etc.)
- Survivability under uncertainty.
- Network location under uncertainty.
- Exact and approximation algorithms for robust network optimization
problems.


Submissions should be electronically sent to Pr. Walid BEN-AMEUR (Telecom
SudParis, CNRS Samovar, France) at Walid.benameur@it-sudparis.eu no later
than 31 January, 2013.
