   Special issue on Virtual Infrastructure Recovery After Disaster

   Overlaying virtual infrastructures on top of a physical infrastructure
   is a cost-effective way to achieve high resource utilization and has
   received a lot of attention in various research fields. In the
   communication network field, multiple virtual overlay networks with
   diverse topologies, bandwidth and resilience properties can be created
   over a common physical network. For example, by partitioning an
   optical network infrastructure into virtual resources, we can
   provision multiple virtual optical networks, one for each client
   (e.g., an ISP), over the same optical network. The adoption of virtual
   infrastructure can also be found in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service
   (IaaS) paradigm of cloud computing, where a virtual infrastructure
   includes both virtualized computing and networking resources.

   A resilient virtual infrastructure design provides clients with
   hardened virtual infrastructures capable of achieving high
   availability even after one or more failures cripple the physical
   infrastructure. Virtual infrastructure recovery involves dynamically
   allocating additional resources or activating reserved backup (or
   spare) resources after failures to re-provision virtual
   infrastructures. For a few small scale failures, cost-effective
   virtual infrastructure designs that reserve backup resources to
   survive such failures may be explored. After large scale failures,
   however, progressive repair/restoration strategies may be needed to
   mitigate the disruption. A virtual infrastructure may also be moved
   from one physical infrastructure to another after large-scale
   failures, e.g., from one datacenter to another. Under such an option,
   technologies to replicate/re-provisioning the virtual infrastructure
   with the minimum disruption need to be explored.

   This special issue aims to stimulate research and development in
   resilient virtual infrastructure design and recovery. Original
   contributions are solicited in all areas relevant to resilient virtual
   infrastructure design and recovery, including (but not limited to) the
   following topics:
     * Resilient virtual infrastructure design
     * Backup or spare resource allocation
     * Dynamic allocation of additional resources after failures
     * Repair/restoration strategies
     * Strategies to move a virtual infrastructure from one physical
       infrastructure to another physical infrastructure
     * Cooperative and/or non-cooperative behaviors in virtual
       infrastructure design and recovery
     * Performance measures for partially functional virtual
       infrastructure
     * Case studies of virtual infrastructure recovery
     * Economic analysis of virtual infrastructure recovery
