It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 20th edition of DRCN the “International Conference on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks” which will take place on May 6-9 2024, in Montreal, Québec, Canada.

Since its creation in 1998, DRCN has become over the years a well-established forum for scientists from both industry and academy who have interest in reliability and availability of telecommunication networks, or other resilience-related topics. The aim of the conference is to bring together people from various disciplines, ranging from engineering of survivable equipment and network technologies to network management and monitoring, through methods and models for survivable and robust network design.

The conference program will put together many different activities, including keynotes from outstanding speakers, technical sessions with regular and demo papers, co-located workshops in topics within the conference field, tutorials is highly interesting topics and panel discussions. The DRCN 2024 conference is technically Co-Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society.
