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
