Such platforms enable the exchange of mobility data between interested parties. Some service platform solutions are developed as cloud applications or make use of the benefits which the cloud computing paradigm offers. However, appropriate or detailed analyses of such platforms against cloud computing characteristics have not been found in the literature. Such analyses are of importance for the design and development process of future service solutions as they point out critical aspects that have to be appropriately addressed, assessed and incorporated into a solution's architecture to actually benefit from cloud computing. We close this gap by contributing an analysis of our developed mobility service ecosystem, consisting of service marketplaces and an ecosystem manager in terms of cloud computing characteristics. We analyze the operational behavior of the mobility service ecosystem and its components and assign respective cloud computing patterns to make concepts and requirements explicit. This analysis supports architects of future mobility solutions to understand the operational obstacles of such an ecosystem, outlines critical requirements of each component and provides a common terminology that utilized information transparency and knowledge sharing. Thus, service provisioning solutions can improve their performance and quality when they consider cloud computing pattern in their design.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126384520","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}

An effective scheme for the calculation of a pair of disjoint trees, namely the New Arc-Disjoint Trees (NADT) protection scheme, is presented. The key idea of this technique is to gradually construct the primary tree, verifying that after the addition of each one of the destinations of the multicast session, a secondary (arc-disjoint) tree can still be obtained. The proposed protection technique is combined with two existing heuristics for multicast routing in mixed-graph sparse-splitting networks. Performance results demonstrate that the proposed NADT protection technique clearly outperforms the conventional approach in terms of blocking ratio, and presents a negligible increase of the average cost of the derived pair of arc-disjoint trees.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123247179","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}

The aim is to find a routing solution, which includes the decision on whose commodities are to be protected, that maximizes the total protected demand. We propose integer linear programming models considering three types of path protection: 1+1, 1:1 and 1:1 with preemption. We present computational results showing that the use of partial disjoint protection paths enables to protect more demand for the same network resources on all three types of protection.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114500237","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}

When the band dedicated to backup paths is reduced to achieve a higher throughput in the network, the protection capability is also reduced.

The problem of energy efficient, reliable multi-layer network design is known to result in different trade-offs between key performance measures. In this complex problem, considerations such as client traffic granularity, applied grooming policies and multi-layer resiliency add even more complexity. A commercially available network planning tool is used to investigate the interplay between different methods for resilient capacity planning in multi-layer networks and performance measures such as network resource utilization, availability, agility to traffic fluctuations and energy consumption. A green-field network deployment scenario is considered, where different resiliency methods, design methodologies and grooming strategies are applied. Switching off low-utilized transport links has been investigated via a pro-active re-routing applied during the network planning. Our analysis shows that design factors such as the applied survivability strategy and the applied planning method have higher impact on the key performance indicators compared to the pro-active re-routing under the investigated network deployment scenarios. Power consumption reduction between 9,7% (when applying pro-active re-routing) and 65,7% (when applying a more suitable design methodology) have been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121777635","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}

Their advantage is the possibility of providing services without the existence of a previously defined infrastructure and with a high degree of autonomy. On the other hand, physical agents, in general, are prone to failures, adding uncertainty and unpredictability in the environments in which they operate. Therefore, a robust topology regarding failures is an imperative requirement. In this paper, we show that mechanisms based solely on connectivity maintenance are not enough to obtain a sufficiently resilient network, and a robustness-oriented approach is necessary. Thus, we propose a local combined control law that aims at maintaining the overall network connectivity while improving the network robustness via actions that reduce vulnerability to failures that might lead to network disconnection. The combined control law performance was validated from two perspectives: as a reactive and as a proactive mechanism. As a reactive mechanism, it was able to accommodate ongoing failures and postpone or avoid network fragmentation. As a proactive mechanism, the network topology was able to evolve from a potentially vulnerable topology w.r.t. failures to a more robust one.","PeriodicalId":422165,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Workshop on Resilient Networks Design and Modeling (RNDM)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131207216","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}
