RNDM 2012 follows the success of the first three events that took place in St. Petersburg (2009), Moscow (2010), and Budapest (2011), accordingly. RNDM 2012 topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following: - coordination of multilayer survivability operations, - design of dedicated/shared backup paths, - end-to-end resilience, - energy efficiency in survivable networks, - fast service recovery, - fault management and control in survivable networks, - green networks reliability, - impact on detection accuracy and latency on survivability, - management issues in reliable networks design, - methods for measurement, evaluation, or validation of survivability, - modeling malicious behavior or attacks on networks, - models and algorithms of survivable networks design and modeling, - multilayer networks survivability, - optical networks survivability, - p-cycles and other protection structures, - planning and optimization of reliable networks, - restoration strategies under different types of failures, - reliability of converged wireless-wired communications, - reliability of multidomain communications, - role of redundancy in survivable networks, - self-regenerative networks, - service resilience differentiation, - survivability of anycast and multicast networks, - survivability of grid and distributed computing systems, - survivability of P2P and overlay systems, - survivability under traffic grooming in multilayer networks, - theory and methods of reliability and availability, - use of self-healing techniques in surviving attacks, - wireless access and mesh networks survivability The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in the area of reliable networks design and modeling. The total length of a paper should not exceed 7 pages formatted according to the IEEE Template. All submitted papers will be reviewed. A Best Paper Award will be given. Extended version of papers of special merit will be considered for publication in a dedicated special issue of Telecommunication Systems Journal (Springer). The event will be co-located with ICUMT 2012 Congress.
