To address this problem, the research community has been investigating approaches to network resilience for several years. However, aside from well-established techniques, many of these solutions have not found their way into operational environments. The RECODIS COST Action aims to address this shortcoming by providing solutions that are tailored to specific types of challenge, whilst considering the wider socio-economic issues that are associated with their deployment. To support this goal, in this paper, we present an overview of some of the foundational related work on network resilience, covering topics such as measuring resilience and resilient network architectures, amongst others. In addition, we provide insights into current operational best practices for ensuring the resilience of carrier-grade communication networks. The aim of this paper is to support the goals of the EU COST Action RECODIS and the wider research community in engineering more resilient communication networks.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125041439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we are focusing on estimation of public transport occupancy (PTO), or more specifically, on estimating bus passenger load, i.e., the number of people on the bus. This information can be used by bus operators as input to the analysis of bus routes' efficiency, or to provide an app indicating passenger load. PTO estimation based on collecting WiFi probes emitted by WiFi enabled devices is cheap and easy to install. This paper presents a prototype implementation of this method, analysis of the collected data and of the estimation algorithm accuracy. Analysis of passenger load in a bus has indicated that there are two main challenges of the estimation using WiFi probes. The algorithm provides overestimation due to inclusion of WiFi devices that are outside the bus and underestimation due to exclusion of people without an active WiFi enabled device or by missing out probes in the detection algorithm from devices carried on board. We have shown how by fine-tuning parameters of the algorithm the probes received from people outside the bus can be filtered out thereby reducing the severity of the underestimation problem. The typical approach to combat the overestimation problem is to make the adjustments based on a statistical ratio of people possessing a WiFi enabled smart device over the whole population.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"581 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126892975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These disasters have reinforced the knowledge that telecommunication networks constitute a critical infrastructure of our society, and the urgency in establishing protection mechanisms against disaster-based disruptions. Hence, it is important to have emergency networks able to maintain sustainable communication in disaster areas. Moreover, the network architecture should be designed so that network connectivity is maintained among nodes outside of the impacted area, while ensuring that services for costumers not in the affected area suffer minimal impact. As a first step towards achieving disaster resilience, the RECODIS project was formed, and its Working Group 1 members conducted a comprehensive literature survey on “strategies for communication networks to protect against large-scale natural disasters,” which is summarized in this article.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129820133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a threat awareness architecture for critical infrastructures, which we believe will raise security awareness and increase resilience in utility networks. We first describe an investigation of trends and threats that may impose security risks in utility networks. This was performed on the basis of a viewpoint approach that is capable of identifying technical and non-technical issues (e.g., behaviour of humans). The result of our analysis indicated that utility networks are affected strongly by technological trends, but that humans comprise an important threat to them. This provided evidence and confirmed that the protection of utility networks is a multi-variable problem, and thus, requires the examination of information stemming from various viewpoints of a network. In order to accomplish our objective, we propose a systematic threat awareness architecture in the context of a resilience strategy, which ultimately aims at providing and maintaining an acceptable level of security and safety in critical infrastructures. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate partially via a case study the application of the proposed threat awareness architecture, where we examine the potential impact of attacks in the context of social engineering in a European utility company.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126400054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is particularly important for clouds and cloud-based services to be resilient, i.e., they are able to operate correctly and continuously even in the presence of challenges. To do this, a number of resilience-supporting mechanisms are needed at various levels in cloud infrastructure. It is non-trivial to manage these mechanisms and there is a need for flexible instruments which assist cloud providers in this complex task. Policy based management is an established instrument to manage resilience supporting mechanisms and they are useful if it allows not only high level description of abstract policy (e.g high level security and resilience requirements), but also enables such policy to be refined and eventually mapped into an appropriate low levels in cloud settings. This paper sheds light on basic concepts behind policy based management in cloud, more specifically it emphasizes the use of policy refinement which is the process of translating higher level requirements (such as security and resilience requirements) into the sequence of actions at lower levels that can implement them, in order to generate more refined policies that govern the behaviour of an overall cloud system when under challenge. We finally present two example scenarios on how policy refinement can work for the cloud to establish its relevance for the overall resilience management.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127579703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
