Welcome to DRCN 2009, the 7th International Workshop on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks.
DRCN is a well established biennial forum for scientists, engineers,designers and planners from industry, government and academia who have interests in the reliability and availability of communication networks and services. From equipment and technology for survivability to network management and public policy, through theory and techniques for survivable and robust networks and application design, the aim of the conference is to bring together people from industry, government and academia in those disciplines in a lively forum. The 7th DRCN meeting will be the first held in the United States of America and will take place in the nation’s capitol Washington, D.C., October 25-28, 2009. We hope you will join us.
