Our Contribution
Unlike out approach minimizes the expected costs incurred by submarine fiber-optic cable owners due to restora-tion considering the shape of the cable topography of subma rine environment and probability of occurrence of a natural disaster in submarine environments To the best of out knowl-edge we present a unigue optimization which is different from published research on optimization probems associated with disaster survability of a network of fiber-optic cables More-over we present a unique concept wherein we discuss both the design from the point of view of the telecommunication provider and of the society (the customers) unlike which con-sider the design from the point of view of telecommunication providers only
