Network Reliability: A Lecture Course by Ilya Gertsbakh (English) Paperback Book

Publisher Description

This introductory book equips the reader to apply the core concepts and methods of network reliability analysis to real-life problems. It explains the modeling and critical analysis of systems and probabilistic networks, and requires only a minimal background in probability theory and computer programming. Based on the lecture notes of eight courses taught by the authors, the book is also self-contained, with no theory needed beyond the lectures. The primary focus is on essential "modus operandi," which are illustrated in numerous examples and presented separately from the more difficult theoretical material.

Table of Contents

1 Probability and Statistics: a short reminder.- 2 The concept of network.- 3 Network Static and Dynamic Reliability.- 4 Monte Carlo method for evaluating network reliability.- 5 Lomonosov's "Turnip" for Network Reliability evaluation.
