Title: Survivability Quantification for Networks

Abstract
--------
Survivability is critical attribute of modern computer and communication
systems. The assessment of survivability is mostly performed in a
qualitative manner and thus cannot meet the need for more precise and
solid evaluation of service loss or degradation in presence of
failure/attack/disaster. This talk addresses the current research status
of quantification of survivability. First we carefully define
survivability and contrast it with traditional measures such as
reliability, availability and performability. We then discuss
probabilistic models for the quantification of survivability based on our
chosen definition. Next, two case studies are presented to illustrate our
approach. One case study is about the quantitative evaluation of several
survivable architectures for the telephone access network. Hierarchical
models are developed to derive various survivability measures. Numerical
results are provided to show how a comprehensive understanding of the
system behavior after failure can be achieved through such models. The
second case study deals with the survivability quantification of
communication networks.

Title: Survivable Content-Oriented Networks - Modeling and Optimization

Abstract
--------
Multimedia content is gaining much popularity in the Internet. According
to Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI), by 2014 more than 90 percent of
the Internet traffic will be based on video content distribution using
P2P, or streamed from servers. Significant examples of network services
focused on multimedia content include: video streaming (e.g., YouTube,
Hulu), multicasting/broadcasting over IP networks (e.g., IPTV), Content
Delivery Networks (e.g., Akamai). To provide the effective delivery of
time-sensitive multimedia traffic, a concept of content-oriented
networking (CON) has been introduced. This approach embraces new solutions
developed to provide delivery of various content (mostly multimedia) to
requesting users. Since, the CON can be applied to deliver content with
extra reliability requirements, the problem of CON survivability becomes a
significant research topic. In this talk we discuss the challenges in
survivable content-oriented networks with a special focus on modeling and
optimization of problems related to flow and capacity design. We will
concentrate on two delivery techniques widely applied to provide effective
content delivery, e.g., multicasting and anycasting.
