In this paper, we study network reliability in relation to a periodic time-dependent utility
function that reflects the system's functional performance. When an anomaly occurs, the …

In this paper, we consider a general system whose reliability can be characterized with
respect to a periodic timedependent utility function related to the system performance in …

In communication networks, the significance of an outage is measured mainly by its scale
(number of disconnected nodes). To avoid serious outages, operators design their networks …

Network reliability studies properties of networks subjected to random failures of their
components. It has been widely adopted to modeling and analyzing real-world problems …

Since modern society largely depends on several network infrastructures such as
telecommunications and various types of power, the reliability of networked systems needs …

This paper defines networks as systems that capture information about the interactions
among different system parts. For instance, networks can be used describe infrastructure like …

Network reliability, ie, the probability of connecting a set of specified nodes under stochastic
link failure, is a key indicator of network infrastructure, such as communication and power …

Availability data typically consist of start and end times of a system's down periods. We
propose a natural way to plot their statistics so that Service Level Agreements concerning …

In this paper, a method for evaluating maintainability in communication networks is
described. In communication networks, as different types of failures occur and a variety of …

To meet their stringent requirements in terms of performance and dependability,
communication networks should be" well connected". While classic connectivity measures …
