Evaluating local disaster recovery strategies

It is of vital importance to maintain at least some network functionality after a disaster, for example by temporarily replacing damaged nodes by emergency nodes. We propose a framework to evaluate dierent node replacement strategies, based on a large set of representative disasters. We prove that computing the optimal choice of nodes to...

Technology-related Disasters: A Survey towards Disaster-resilient Software Defined Networks

Resilience against disaster scenarios is essential to network operators, not only because of the potential economic impact of a disaster but also because communication networks form the basis of crisis management. COST RECODIS aims at studying measures, rules, techniques and prediction mechanisms for different disaster scenarios. This paper...
