The physical layer of an optical network is vulnerable to a variety of attacks, including
jamming, physical infrastructure attacks, eavesdropping, and interception. As the demand for …

Failure management plays a role of capital importance in optical networks to avoid service
disruptions and to satisfy customers' service level agreements. Machine learning (ML) …

In this paper, we present a computer-assisted automatic diagnostic system for lung cancer
that detects nodule candidates at an early stage from helical CT images of the thorax. Our …

In Risk Analysis of Complex and Uncertain Systems acknowledged risk authority Tony Cox
shows all risk practitioners how Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) can be used to improve …

In this paper, the authors focus on studying the problem of survivable routing provisioning to
prevent single link failure in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks, and …

The optical fiber deployed in the metropolitan infrastructure carrying high-speed WDM traffic
data is used also for network surveillance, identifying and localizing the onset of vibrations …

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 …

Network survivability endeavors to ensure the uninterrupted provisioning of services by the
network operators in case of a disaster event. Studies and news reports show that network …

One of the visions of fifth-generation fixed networks (F5G) is to provide a guaranteed reliable
experience (GRE). Optical transport networks (OTNs) represent a primary candidate …

With the emergence of IoT applications, 5G, and edge computing, network resource
allocation has shifted toward the edge, bringing services closer to the end users. These …
