Fourth International Workshop on the 
Design of Reliable Communication Networks
(DRCN 2003)
19-22 October 2003 - Banff, Alberta, Canada
 

 

 

 

 

 


PURPOSE

DRCN 2003 is a major forum for scientists, engineers, designers and planners concerned with reliability and availability of communication networks and services. The continued rapid growth of Internet traffic, even in the downturn, leaves little doubt that ongoing rounds of network build-out are ahead. Now is the time to profit from lessons-learned and to innovate regarding efficiency, flexibility, and profitability in the realization of highly reliable networks and services. The next round of networks and services must be even more robust but also more imaginative, efficient, flexible, manageable, and ultimately profitable and rewarding for users, carriers and vendors. DRCN 2003 is especially timely and relevant to influence the approaches industry takes, and the direction of ongoing research, as we head into recovery and renewed growth.
