SCOPE
Since its creation in 1998, the International Conference on the Design of
Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN) has become over the years a well-
established forum for scientists from both industry and academy who have
interest in reliability and availability of communication networks, and
related resilience topics. The aim of the conference is to bring together
people from various disciplines, ranging from engineering of survivable
equipment and network technologies to network management and monitoring,
through methods and models for survivable and robust network design. As
such, DRCN is a well-known forum for presenting excellent results and new
challenges in the field of reliable communication networks and services.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute and participate in the 16th
edition of DRCN in Milan, Italy, on March 25-27, 2020.
Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
* Resilience in 5G networks and services
* Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC)
* Design of resilient and reliable IoT systems
* Resilience in Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
* Secure and reliable quantum communication
* Resilience in satellite communication networks
* High-availability for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) infra-
structures
* Network dependability in cloud networking
* Dependability and reliability of wireless/cellular/mobile networks
* Resilience in FSO/VLC communications
* Survivability and traffic engineering for optical, IP and multi-layer
networks
* Robustness of multi-domain networks
* Survivability in grid and distributed computing
* Reliability and resiliency of data center networks
* Recovery of overlay and peer-to-peer networks
* Risk and reliability in the Internet and enterprise networks
* Communication reliability for smart city applications and intelligent

presentation at the conference and publication in the DRCN 2020 Pro-
ceedings. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all
submissions must be done electronically through EDAS:
https://edas.info/N25127.
All submissions must be written in English and use the standard IEEE two-
column conference templates that can be downloaded from:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Papers can be of two types: Full papers or Short papers, up to 8 pages
and 5 pages respectively, including tables, figures and references. Full
papers accepted as short papers will be required to be reduced to 5-page
length.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register to DRCN
2020 to have his/her paper published in the conference proceedings. The
paper must be presented at the conference by one author to be submitted
for publication in IEEE Xplore.
