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.
ABOUT DRCN
The International Workshop on the Design of Reliable
Communication Networks (DRCN) is a biannual conference to provide a platform
for presentations and discussions of recent developments and future trends
in communication networks and network subsystems focusing on all aspects of
network reliability.
The workshops generally consists of technical
presentations, tutorials, panel discussions, posters, exhibitions and demos.
DRCN 2003 will be held in The Banff Centre in beautiful
Banff National Park, Alberta, in Canada's majestic Rocky Mountains on 19-22
October 2003, and will mark the first time the conference is held outside of
Europe.
Please explore the DRCN 2003 website for more
information.
This 4th DRCN workshop is a follow-up of the first three
DRCN workshops:
DRCN 1998,
Brugge, Belgium
DRCN 2000, Munich, Germany
DRCN 2001, Budapest, Hungary
The next workshop will be DRCN 2005 to be held in Italy.
