Observe that there is about 5-15% increase in deployment cost for both DACD-GC and DACD-NC which is attributed to avoiding canle deployment in disaster zones. Apart from that, link 5 that connects CI and TI,records higher value in terms of deployment cost because of the long distance separating the two landing stations. Also,there is a fluctuation of reduction in expected coct,that is attributed to the location of landing stations and the location of epicenters of natural disasters.For instance,link IST-AG recorde low values in terms of reduction in expected cost since this location is susceptible to a number of natural disasters and the width of Marmara Sea is narrow to the extent that it is practically impossible to avoid deploying the cable in a disaster zone.Nevertheless,our approach minimizes this effect by deploying the cable in zones with less effect,since we model the disaster by using a probabilistic model.
Fig.10 depicts a particular example of natural disasters that have occurred in deep sea of Mediterranean Sea.Since the aim
