RNDM has been established as a single-track workshop each time attracting world-class participants from both
academia and industry working in the area of reliable networks design and modeling. RNDM 2013 follows
the success of the first four events that took place in St. Petersburg (2009, 2012), Moscow (2010), and Budapest
(2011), accordingly.
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished research results,
not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and
development in the area of reliable networks design and modeling.
Papers submission is done electronically via EDAS. All papers will be
reviewed. Accepted papers are planned to be published in IEEE Xplore and
indexed in relevant databases. The total length of a paper should not exceed 7
pages formatted according to the IEEE double-column template. The Best
Paper Award will be given.
Extended version of papers of special merit are planned to be published in
Optical Switching and Networking Journal (Elsevier).
Important dates:
Paper submission: April 25, 2013

About Kazakhstan and Almaty
The Republic of Kazakhstan occupies a huge area in the centre of Eurasian
continent. It is the 9th largest country in the world and the largest landlocked country
in the world. Kazakhstan gives travellers opportunity to climb the peaks of Tian Shan
mountains, explore the deep canyons, vast steps, or to admire the wonder of
mountain lakes. In Kazakhstan, you will have possibility to explore areas rich with
diverse landscapes, untouched corners of nature, and meet hospitable people.
The modern Kazakh nation, being multinational and multicultural, has roots deep
in history. Therefore, visitors have the chance to experience a way of life rich in
ancient meaning. When coming to Kazakhstan, you can e.g., participate in Kazakh
national horse competitions, or be part of a hunting party.
Kazakhstan has established 9 national parks and 15 national reserves allowing for protection of the unspoiled
nature and its inhabitants.

The city of Almaty is considered as the centre of tourism. This
large city stretches from the foot of the mountains to the steps
giving an unique opportunity to feel the desert heat as well as cool
off in the snowy mountains. Almaty has developed tourist
infrastructure including a multitude of hotels, shopping centres,
banks, restaurants, and entertainment attractions. In the winter, it
is the largest skiing centre in Central Asia.
During RNDM 2013, we also plan to provide sightseeing tours.
In particular, apart from Almaty City bus tour, we consider
providing the following trips to places briefly described below, i.e.,
to The Big Almaty Lake in Ile-Alatau National Park, and to the
Charyn Canyon.
One of the most beautiful spots in the region is the lake of
Zhasylkol (Big Almaty Lake), which stands at 1,630 metres above
sea level. The turbulent waters of the Aganakty River flow into the
lake. In summer streams formed by melting glaciers high up in the
mountains also fall into the lake. An increasing number of visitors
come here to admire this pristine area.
Relatively close to Almaty, there is one of the most stunning
natural phenomena in Kazakhstan - the Charyn Canyon - a deep
canyon through which the river Charyn runs. This fantastic
landscape, where water and wind have been working hard for
centuries, attracts thousands of tourists annually. Charyn Canyon
is more than 100 km long, and its depth reaches 300 meters in its
deepest point.
Travelling to Almaty
Almaty can be easily reached by a direct plane from major airports. The most important connections include
the following:
from Bangkok, TH, Hongkong, CN, Kuala
Lumpur, MY, London GB, New Dehli, IN,
Beijing, CN, St. Petersburg, RU, Istanbul, TR
from Frankfurt, DE
