Nowadays, a well functioning ICT infrastructure belongs to the most critical factors of companies across all branches of business. An importance of ensuring the continued operation of information systems, or the rapid recovery of the systems in the case of emergency, has increased. These needs require creating business continuity management plan and disaster recovery planning. This paper descri...

This paper focuses on the protection of virtual circuits (Label Switched Paths, LSPs) in a (G)MPLS [1] (Generalised Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network. The proposed algorithm is designed to protect traffic with strong delay requirements such as EF (Expedited Forwarding) ordered aggregates in a DiffServ domain. For this type of application endto-end recovery schemes are usually considered t...

The Internet has become a key infrastructure for global information society. However, the availability of the Internet can be substantially challenged when a disaster strikes, because in such cases the recovery process as of today is largely manual, slow and inefficient. Recognizing that a key issue for obtaining availability is to find the connectivity to the lost destinations, we exploit Inte...

Recovery of interdependent infrastructure networks in the presence of catastrophic failure is crucial to the economy and welfare of society. Recently, centralized methods have been developed to address optimal resource allocation in postdisaster recovery scenarios of interdependent infrastructure systems that minimize total cost. In real-world systems, however, multiple independent, possibly no...

Individual resource recovery processes are monitored as health risk barriers.

Contaminants cause a decrease in the quality of materials with each recycling step. These quality losses should be minimized to increase the sustainability of resources use. Quality losses cannot be measured using weight-based recovery definitions alone, as the quality degradation cannot be translated by mass measures. Therefore, a better measure of the efficiency of resource use is investigate...

This paper reported another recovery model to enhance system survivability. The model focuses on how to preserve the system and resume its critical service while incident occurs by reconfiguring the damaged critical service resources based on available resources without affecting the stability and functioning of the system. There are three critical requisite conditions in this recovery model: t...

Aiming at semi-decentralized suburban sewage resource recovery, pilot-scale Enhanced membrane coagulation reactor (E-MCR) was set up for the first time for preliminary demonstration of sewage pre-concentration. During around 2400h continuous operation with different working scenarios, a relative stable average permeability of 30-50 L/mh·bar was achieved through the combination of enhanced coagu...

This paper presents a decision support tool for airlines schedule recovery during irregular operations. The tool provides airlines control centers with the capability to develop a proactive schedule recovery plan that integrates all flight resources. A rolling horizon modeling framework, which integrates a schedule simulation model and a resource assignment optimization model, is adopted for th...
