Network Adaptability to Combat Disaster Disruptions and Cascading Failures


Prof. Biswanath Mukherjee
University of California, Davis

Abstract:

To combat the rising risk of terrorist threats (e.g., Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) attacks) and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, flooding, etc.) against our national/global interests and economic wellbeing - events which could lead to a domino effect of catastrophic failures of telecommunications, power, transportation, financial, and other critical infrastructures - novel methods are needed to provide protection in our information and communication networks. Topics such as the following will be discussed in this talk: normal preparedness, enhanced preparedness, degraded service under resource crunch, content connectivity (vs. network connectivity) due to the increasing deployment of cloud services, correlated cascading failures in interdependent networks, etc.
