Scope of DRCN 2001
   The current evolution of the information society is relying more 
   than ever on the availability of an efficient communications 
   infrastructure. 
   This workshop is focusing on the design aspects of various 
   communications networks with special emphasis on the reliability 
   of services these networks can provide.

The 3rd DRCN workshop is a follow-up of two highly successful workshops:
   DRCN 1998 Brugge, Belgium
   DRCN 2000 Munich, Germany

It will provide a platform for presentations and discussions of 
recent developments and future trends in communication networks and 
network subsystems focusing on reliability aspects.

Topics include, but are not limited to
   o Network Planning, Design & Configuration  
     (Topology, Routing, Dimensioning, Spare Capacity Allocation)
   o Survivable Network Architectures (Protection & Restoration)
   o Performance Evaluation (Analytical, Simulation, Experimental) 
     reliability measures and guarantees, cost - performance analysis
   o QoS Aspects, Network Resource Management & Traffic Engineering
   o Network Management
   o Multilayer Interactions
   o Network Nodes and other Subsystems 
     (Cross-Connects, Switches, Routers, Gateways, Base Stations)
   o Development of Network Planning Tools

Networks of interest include various Transport and Access networks but 
are not limited to:
   Optical (Managed, Switched, Packet), SDH, ATM, IP, MPLS, 
   Wireless, Mobile, (GSM, 3G), xDSL,... 

The conference will consist of 
   o technical presentations
   o tutorials
   o panel discussions
   o posters
   o exhibitions
   o demos
