The authors are encouraged to submit via EDAS papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in the area of reliable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. All submitted papers will be reviewed. The total length of a paper should not exceed 7 pages formatted according to the IEEE two-column conference template.

All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore and will be indexed by EI.

Extended versions of RNDM'16 papers of special merit of analytic/optimization orientation will be considered for publication in a special issue of Networks journal.
The Best Paper Award will be given.
