fields of reliability, availability, and serviceability as listed below.
Topics of interests
Survivability and traffic engineering for optical, IP and multi-layer
networks
Robustness of multi-domain network and protocol architectures
Resilience in Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
High-availability for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)
infrastructures
Network dependability in cloud networking
Dependability of cellular/mobile networks
