RUTCOR/DIMACS
WORKSHOP
STOCHASTIC
NETWORKS: RELIABILITY, RESILIENCY, OPTIMIZATION
October
12-13, 2011
Organizers:
Endre Boros, Andras Prekopa,
Michael Tortorella
The workshop
brought together a variety of
workers in theory and applications with the intention of identifying
common
areas ripe for new advances in the theory that may be widely applied.
Major
focus areas include network design and evolution principles and
methods, design
for network and service reliability, network resiliency and robustness,
and
risk analysis. Applications considered include telecommunications and
wireless
networks, electric power, continuum commodity networks such as water
and oil
and gas distribution, discrete commodity networks such as
transportation and
logistics networks, biological networks, social networks, and military
and
mobile ad-hoc networks. Speakers and their presentations are listed
below. Click
