An algorithm for reliability analysis of phased-mission systems

Y Ma, KS Trivedi - Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1999 - Elsevier
The purpose of this paper is to describe an efficient Boolean algebraic algorithm that
provides exact solution to the unreliability of a multi-phase mission system where the …

Exact methods to compute network reliability

C Lucet, JF Manouvrier - 1999 - Springer
In this chapter we present and compare some exact methods to resolve network reliability
problems. These problems concern all kinds of networks, such as computer, communication …

An optimized procedure to generate sums of disjoint products

E Chatelet, Y Dutuit, A Rauzy, T Bouhoufani - Reliability Engineering & …, 1999 - Elsevier
This article describes an efficient procedure, the so-called Semi-Optimal Disjunction
Approach (SODA), to generate a sum of the disjoint products (SDP) from a set of minimal …

Tighter bounds on full access probability in fault-tolerant multistage interconnection networks

S Rai, YC Oh - IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed …, 1999 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper proposes a cut-based technique to compute bounds on the full access probability
of an extra stage shuffle exchange network (ESEN) and a wrap-around inverse banyan …

Improving information-network performance: reliability versus invulnerability

D Lyle, Y Chan, E Head - Iie Transactions, 1999 - Springer
As the information revolution continues, those who depend upon secure information-
networks but cannot adequately protect them will become more vulnerable to tampering by …
