Book excerpt: Network Reliability: Experiments with a Symbolic Algebra Environment examines two intertwined topics: computational methods for computing bounds on three measures of network reliability, and a symbolic algebra system to support these computations. It describes, in algorithmic outlines, efficient techniques for reliability bounds and discusses the implementation of the techniques. It explores all-terminal reliability, two-terminal reliability, and reliability of interconnection networks. Consistent with real-world experience, the computational environment and results are strongly supported by sound theoretical development.

Book excerpt: This introductory book equips the reader to apply the core concepts and methods of network reliability analysis to real-life problems. It explains the modeling and critical analysis of systems and probabilistic networks, and requires only a minimal background in probability theory and computer programming. Based on the lecture notes of eight courses taught by the authors, the book is also self-contained, with no theory needed beyond the lectures. The primary focus is on essential “modus operandi,” which are illustrated in numerous examples and presented separately from the more difficult theoretical material.
Download or read book Network Reliability and Resilience written by Ilya Gertsbakh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the probabilistic description of the behavior of a network in the process of random removal of its components (links, nodes) appearing as a result of technical failures, natural disasters or intentional attacks. It is focused on a practical approach to network reliability and resilience evaluation, based on applications of Monte Carlo methodology to numerical approximation of network combinatorial invariants, including so-called multidimensional destruction spectra. This allows to develop a probabilistic follow-up analysis of the network in the process of its gradual destruction, to identify most important network components and to develop efficient heuristic algorithms for network optimal design. Our methodology works with satisfactory accuracy and efficiency for most applications of reliability theory to real –life problems in networks.

This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability problems arise with increasing frequency as our modern systems of telecommunications, information transmission, transportation, and distribution become more and more complex. In December 1989 at DIMACS at Rutgers University, a Workshop on Reliability of Computer and Communications Networks was held to examine the discrete mathematical methods relevant to these problems. There were nearly ninety participants, including theoretical mathematicians, computer scientists, and electrical engineers from academia and industry, as well as network practitioners, engineers, and reliability planners from leading companies involved in the use of computer and communications networks. This volume, published jointly with the Association for Computing Machinery, contains the proceedings from this Workshop. The aim of the Workshop was to identify the latest trends and important open problems, as well as to survey potential practical applications. The Workshop explored questions of computation of reliability of existing systems and of creating new designs to insure high reliability, in addition to the closely related notion of survivability. Redundancy, single stage and multistage networks, interconnected networks, and fault tolerance were also covered. The Workshop emphasized practical applications, with many invited speakers from a variety of companies which are dealing with practical network reliability problems. The success of the Workshop in fostering many new interactions among researchers and practitioners is reflected in the proceedings, which provide an exciting look at some of the major advances at the forefront of this important field of research.

Book excerpt: We present a brief survey of the current state of the art in network reliability. We survey only exact methods; Monte Carlo methods are not surveyed. Most network reliability problems are, in the worst case, NP-hard and are, in a sense, more difficult than many standard combinatorial optimization problems. Although the above sounds very discouraging, there are in fact linear and polynomial time algorithms for network reliability problems of special structure. We review general methods for network reliability computation and discuss the central role played by domination theory in network reliability computational complexity. We also point out the connection with the more general problem of computing the reliability of coherent structure. The class of coherent structures contains both directed and undirected networks as well as logic (or fault) tress without not gates.

Book excerpt: A basic problem for the interconnection of communications media is to design interconnection networks for specific needs. For example, to minimize delay and to maximize reliability, networks are required that have minimum diameter and maximum connectivity under certain conditions. The book provides a recent solution to this problem. The subject of all five chapters is the interconnection problem. The first two chapters deal with Cayley digraphs which are candidates for networks of maximum connectivity with given degree and number of nodes. Chapter 3 addresses Bruijn digraphs, Kautz digraphs, and their generalizations, which are candidates for networks of minimum diameter and maximum connectivity with given degree and number of nodes. Chapter 4 studies double loop networks, and Chapter 5 considers broadcasting and the Gossiping problem. All the chapters emphasize the combinatorial aspects of network theory. Audience: A vital reference for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and theoretical computer science.
Download or read book Network Reliability written by Sanjay Kumar Chaturvedi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Engineering theory and applications, we think and operate in terms of logics and models with some acceptable and reasonable assumptions. The present text is aimed at providing modelling and analysis techniques for the evaluation of reliability measures (2-terminal, all-terminal, k-terminal reliability) for systems whose structure can be described in the form of a probabilistic graph. Among the several approaches of network reliability evaluation, the multiple-variable-inversion sum-of-disjoint product approach finds a well-deserved niche as it provides the reliability or unreliability expression in a most efficient and compact manner. However, it does require an efficiently enumerated minimal inputs (minimal path, spanning tree, minimal k-trees, minimal cut, minimal global-cut, minimal k-cut) depending on the desired reliability. The present book covers these two aspects in detail through the descriptions of several algorithms devised by the "reliability fraternity" and explained through solved examples to obtain and evaluate 2-terminal, k-terminal and all-terminal network reliability/unreliability measures and could be its USP. The accompanying web-based supplementary information containing modifiable Matlab® source code for the algorithms is another feature of this book. A very concerted effort has been made to keep the book ideally suitable for first course or even for a novice stepping into the area of network reliability. The mathematical treatment is kept as minimal as possible with an assumption on the readers’ side that they have basic knowledge in graph theory, probabilities laws, Boolean laws and set theory.

Download or read book Algebraic and Computational Aspects of Network Reliability and Problems written by Douglas Shier and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important to be able to assess the reliability of a complex system in terms of the reliabilities of its components. This type of problem arises with increasing frequency in the analysis of telecommunication and distribution systems, which can be represented as networks. The present research employs an underlying algebraic structure to study network reliability problems and to develop new algorithms for their solution. Iterative techniques for calculating reliability (both exactly and approximately) have been developed for both general networks and a difficult class of specialized networks. These techniques allow the solution of fairly complex networks, ones that have previously resisted analysis. In addition, the underlying structure of network reliability problems has been approached by studying the combinatorial properties of a certain polynomial defined with respect to the underlying graph topology.
