For several decades, optical networks, due to their high capacity and long-distance
transmission range, have been used as the major communication technology to serve …

Natural disasters have challenged the survivability of Elastic Optical Inter-DataCenter
Networks (EO-DCNs), and it is urgent to establish efficient disaster protection schemes. In …

Network function virtualization (NFV) in Elastic Optical Inter-DataCenter Networks (EO-
DCNs) enables a flexible, adaptive, effective, and economic network services deployment …

This paper focuses on how to increase the availability of a backbone network with minimal
cost. In particular, the new framework focuses on resilience against natural disasters and is …

Mobile edge computing allows efficient cloud servicing by building small-scale cloud
infrastructures at the network edge close to end users. The cloud servers implement virtual …

Optical networks are vulnerable to failures due to targeted attacks or large-scale disasters.
The recoverability of optical networks refers to the ability of an optical network to return to a …

In this paper, we present a framework for disaster resilience, called FRADIR-II, which
improves the performance of its previous counterpart. In the novel framework, two different …

Several works shed light on the vulnerability of networks against regional failures, which are
failures of multiple pieces of equipment in a geographical region as a result of a natural or …

Recent global emergencies have emphasized the importance of reliable communication
networks. With increasing dependence on critical infrastructure, it is no longer sufficient to …

Network recoverability refers to the ability of a network to return to a desired performance
level after suffering malicious attacks or random failures. This paper proposes a general …
