S2CN 2014 Workshop(Survivable Content-Oriented and Cloud-Ready Networking)
co-located with RNDM 2014: http://www.rndm.pl/2014/S2CN/index.html

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

RNDM has been established as a single-track workshop each time
attracting world-class participants from both academia and industry
working in the area of reliable networks design and modeling. RNDM 2014
follows the
success of the first five events that took place in St. Petersburg
(2009, 2012), Moscow (2010), Budapest (2011), and Almaty (2013) accordingly.

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

- businesses aspects of resilience in content-oriented
and cloud-ready networks,
- coordination of multilayer survivability operations,
- design of dedicated/shared backup paths,
- end-to-end resilience,

The authors are encouraged to submit via EDAS
(https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=17117) 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original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under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. All submitted papers will be reviewed. The total length of a
paper should not exceed 7 pages formatted according to the two-column
template.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference
proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other
Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.


Extended versions of top papers of analytic/optimization orientation
will be considered for publication in a special issue of
Networks journal (Wiley)
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%291097-0037

The Best Paper Award will be given.
