The International Conference on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN) has been held for more than 20 years, addressing resilience topics, such as reliability and availability of communication networks and becoming a meeting point for both industry and academy. DRCN events have always been envisioned as multidisciplinary, putting together scientists from the fields of engineering of survivable equipment and network technologies as well as network management and monitoring, and without forgetting data analytics for fault diagnosis, among others. After all these years, the level of excellence has grown, making DRCN a well-known meeting point, where academia and industry present innovative and challenging results in the mentioned research fields.
DRCN 2026 will support additional workshops, intended to extend the full set of high- quality activities to be included in the conference program. Workshops need to be aligned to the key conference topics. Other topics may be also accepted as long as they have high impact on the communications field, hence complementing what the main conference topics. Workshops may include regular papers, invited presentations, keynotes, discussion panels, etc., and may last for either a half or full day event.
Suggested Topics of Interest:
- Security of Communication Networks
