Call for Papers: Special Issue of the journal "Networks" on Robust Network Optimization
Network parameters such as those defining the traffic matrix are generally uncertain. This uncertainty is typically the result of two factors: the intrinsic variability of the network parameters and the lack of information about these parameters. Consequently, it is important to take uncertainty into account when the network is designed or/and managed.
Robust Optimization is one of the techniques that can help to incorporate uncertainty.
We would like to receive original, high-quality research papers that address Robust Network Optimization. We are especially interested in submissions contributing to the following areas:
- Robust routing under uncertainty.
- Resource assignment under uncertainty (dimensioning, provisioning, wavelength assignment, etc.)
- Survivability under uncertainty.
- Network location under uncertainty.
- Exact and approximation algorithms for robust network optimization problems.
Submissions should be electronically sent to Pr. Walid BEN-AMEUR (Telecom SudParis, CNRS Samovar, France) at mailto:Walid.benameur@telecom-sudparis.eu Walid.benameur@telecom-sudparis.eu no later than 31 January, 2013.
