Evaluating the network reliability is an important topic in the planning, designing, and control
of systems. The sum-of-disjoint products technique (SDP) is a major fundamental tool for …

" The book itself is a commendable achievement, and it deals with the security and software
reliability theory in an integrated fashion with emphasis on practical applications to software …

The calculation of network reliability in a probabilistic context has long been an issue of
practical and academic importance. Conventional approaches (determination of bounds …

The (s, t) expected-hop-count (EHC) in a wireless communication network (WCN), modeled
as a graph with probabilistic node failures, is the expected number of operational nodes that …

A combinatorial approach to reliability preserving transformation of stochastic networks is
presented. It involves splitting the underlying graph G into two edge-disjoint subgraphs …

Nos dias atuais, observamos o vertiginoso avanço da tecnologia e a dependência cada vez
maior da sociedade nos sistemas de computação. O uso massivo de dispositivos …

A sum of disjoint products (SDP) representation of a Boolean function is useful because it
makes readily available certain informa# tion about the function; however a typical SDP …
