This work is focused on the analysis of the survivable capacitated network design problem. This problem can be stated as follows: Given a supply network with point-to-point traffic demands, specific survivability requirements, ...

The Generalized Steiner Problem with Edge-Connectivity constraints (GSP-EC) consists of computing the minimal cost subnetwork of a given feasible network where some pairs of nodes must satisfy edge-connectivity requirements. ...

Survivability is a critical requirement of optical communication networks that is typically addressed implementing path diversity. However, due to the elevated cost of fiber installation, this approach may prove prohibitively ...

This article sheds light, on both theoretical and methodological grounds, on businesses creation and survival as well as the underlying influences of embeddedness and entrepreneurial social network in this process. The ...

In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous riskaware Software-Defined Networking (SDN) migration method for designing survivable networks in the face of multiple correlated failures. The migration method, which is implemented ...

INTRODUCTION: Very low-birth weight (VLBW) infants represent a high-risk population for morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Variability in practices and outcomes between centers has been acknowledged. Multicenter ...
