Compare Models Of Network Reliability by Ilya B. Gertsbakh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Unique in its approach, Models of Network Reliability: Analysis, Combinatorics, and Monte Carloprovides a brief introduction to Monte Carlo methods along with a concise exposition of reliability theory ideas. From there, the text investigates a collection of principal network reliability models, such as terminal connectivity for networks with unreliable edges and/or nodes, network lifetime distribution in the process of its destruction, network stationary behavior for renewable components, importance measures of network elements, reliability gradient, and network optimal reliability synthesis. Solutions to most principal network reliability problems-including medium-sized computer networks-are presented in the form of efficient Monte Carlo algorithms and illustrated with numerical examples and tables. Written by reliability experts with significant teaching experience, this reader-friendly text is an excellent resource for software engineering, operations research, industrial engineering, and reliability engineering students, researchers, and engineers. Stressing intuitive explanations and providing detailed proofs of difficult statements, this self-contained resource includes a wealth of end-of-chapter exercises, numerical examples, tables, and offers a solutions manual-making it ideal for self-study and practical use. | Models Of Network Reliability by Ilya B.
