In this paper, we use the concept of colored edge graphs to model homogeneous faults in networks. We then use this model to study the minimum connectivity (and design) requirements...
—We consider network reliability in layered networks where the lower layer experiences random link failures. In layered networks, each failure at the lower layer may lead to mult...
Based on a recent improvement of the inclusion-exclusion principle, we present a new approach to network reliability problems. In particular, we give a new proof of a result of Sh...
Abstract--Reliability and sensitivity analysis is a key component in the design, tuning, and maintenance of network systems. Tremendous research efforts have been expended in this ...
Abstract-- The calculation of network reliability in a probabilistic context has long been an issue of practical and academic importance. Conventional approaches (determination of ...
Exactly computing network reliability measures is an NPhard problem. Therefore, Monte Carlo simulation has been frequently used by network designers to obtain accurate estimates. ...

Network reduction techniques are mainly used with exact approaches such as factoring to compute network reliability. However, exact computation of network reliability is feasible ...
Issues of network reliability are very important in modern computer networks. Even a short failure of a network link can cause substantial consequences. In this paper we concentrat...
