--------------------------------------------------------------

RNDM is a well established single-track annual workshop, each time
gathering world-class researchers from both academia and industry to
present the high-quality results in the area of reliable networks design
and modeling. RNDM 2026 follows the success of the former fourteen events
organized, e.g. in Trondheim - NO (2025), Pompeii - IT (2024),
Hamburg - DE (2023), Compiegne - FR (2022), Nicosia - CY (2019),
Longyearbyen - NO (2018), Alghero - IT (2017), Halmstad - SE (2016),
Munich - DE (2015), or Barcelona - ES (2014).

Paper submission and reviews will be done via EDAS. The maximum length of
submitted papers should not exceed 7 pages formatted according to the
IEEE double-column conference template.
