* Network dependability in cloud networking

* Dependability of cellular/mobile networks

* Reliability of wireless access and mesh networking

* Survivability in grid and distributed computing

* Resilience of networked critical infrastructures

* Network reliability analysis

* Methods for survivable network and systems design, analysis and operation

* Planning and optimization of reliable networks, systems, and services

* Network coding techniques to improve resilience

* Decomposition techniques for reliable network optimization
