Scalable Multipath Routing Algorithms for Disaster Resilient Telecommunications

About

The main goal of Scalable Multipath Routing Algorithms for Disaster Resilient Telecommunications is the development of efficient routing algorithms for backbone networks to guarantee high service availability. The new algorithms will allow the Internet backbone operators to significantly decrease the downtime of their network connections, which is a key enabler of mission-critical and next-generation applications such as telesurgery, Industry 4.0, or autonomous driving.

The research is carried out at the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Hungarian Line.

Cognitive and socio-economic impact

The SMR-A-DRT project advances the scientific understanding of scalable multipath routing in backbone networks. From a cognitive impact perspective, the project contributes to fundamental knowledge in network theory and algorithm design, fostering new research directions in resilient communication infrastructures and disseminating results through top-tier international conferences and journals. In terms of socio-economic impact, the outcomes enable more reliable Internet connectivity for mission-critical services, reducing service downtime and associated economic losses. By improving backbone resilience, the project supports digital transformation, economic competitiveness, and societal well-being in contexts where communications continuity is essential.
