============================================================================

RNDM has been established as a single-track workshop for participants from
both academia and industry working in the area of resilient networks design
and modeling. Its 8th edition follows the success of the first seven
events that took place in St. Petersburg (2009, 2012), Moscow (2010),
Budapest (2011), Almaty (2013), Barcelona (2014), and Munich (2015).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following:

- businesses aspects of resilience,
- cost evaluation of network resilience,
- end-to-end resilience,
- energy efficiency in survivable networks,
- fault and disruption tolerance evaluation,
- Future Internet resilience,
- green networks resilience,
- fault management, control, and monitoring,
- management of survivable content-oriented and cloud-ready networks,
- methods for measurement, evaluation, or validation of resilience,
- modeling different types of failures,
- modeling malicious behavior or attacks on networks,
- models and algorithms of survivable networks design and modeling,
- multilayer networks resilience,
- network dependability,
- network redundancy optimization,
- network reliability vs. economy-related issues,
- new and emerging threats in cloud computing and content-oriented networks,
- optical networks survivability,
- optimization issues in resilient networks design,
- QoS and QoE in reliable communications,
- recovery of P2P and overlay systems,
- reliable networks performance evaluation,
- resilience of data centers,
- resilience of wireless-wired communications,
- resilience of wireless sensor networks,
- resilience of multi-domain communications,
- resilience of emerging communication technologies,
- resilience of vehicle-to-vehicle communications,
- resilient cloud computing architectures/solutions,
- resilient content-oriented networks architectures and solutions,
- security-related issues in resilient networks design,
- simulation/emulation techniques for network resilience,
- Software-Defined Networks (SDN) for survivable content-oriented
and cloud-ready networking,
- standardization of network resilience,
- survivability of anycast and multicast networks,
- survivability of converged services (VoIP, IP-TV, Mobile TV),
- survivability of Content Delivery Networks,
- survivability of grid and distributed computing systems,
- theory of network resilience,
- wireless access networks survivability,
- wireless mesh networks survivability.


The authors are encouraged to submit via EDAS
(https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21756) 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 resilient networks design and modeling. All
submitted papers will be reviewed. The total length of a paper should not
exceed 7 pages formatted according to the two-column template.
