Special Issue of the journal "Networks" on Robust Network Optimization

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 Walid.benameur@it-sudparis.eu no later 
than 31 January, 2013.
