Genetic Algorithm Design of Networks Considering All-terminal Reliability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of computer communication networks has been rapidly increasing recently to 1) share expensive hardware and software resources, and 2) provide access to main systems from distant locations. The reliability and the cost of these systems are important considerations that are largely determined by placement of the nodes and the links between nodes. In this study, a genetic algorithm (GA) is presented to solve the all-terminal network design problem when considering cost and reliability. The GA is considerably enhanced over conventional implementations to improve effectiveness and efficiency. This general optimization approach is shown to be computationally efficient and highly effective on a large suite of test problems with search spaces up to 2 × 10.
