Faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. Faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. Fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

Nowadays, the rapid development of computer networks calls for highly distributed management technologies that aim at integration and automation. This paper then gives an overview of current management architectures for computer networks, and tries to apply P2P technologies to make up existing limitations in term of performance, scalability, flexibility, maintainability and reliability. Due to ...

Today, the electricity power system is the most complicated engineering system has ever been made. The integrated power generating stations with power transmission lines has created a network, called complex power network. The reliability estimation of such complex power networks is a very challenging problem, as one cannot find any immediate solution methods in current literature. In this pape...

An open queueing network model in light traffic has been developed. The theorem on the law of the iterated logarithm for the idle time process of customers in an open queueing network has been presented. Finally, we present an application of the theorem a idle time model from computer network practice. Key–Words: mathematical models of technical systems, reliability theory, queueing theory, ope...

Computer systems capable of teraflop computation are becoming a near-term reality with the emergence of high-speed powerful processors that can run cooperatively in a multiprocessor system.. The underlying fabric that supports communication among processors in the system is the interconnection network. The basic function of an interconnection network is to transfer information from the input no...

This paper designs a reliability distribution network with limited capacity under partial and complete facility disruptions. To increase the reliability of the distribution network, a new mixed integer linear programing model is developed by considering multiple mitigation strategies including diversification, fortification, and transshipment. The distribution network constitutes of reliable di...

In this paper, we propose two algorithms for estimating the task route reliability of mobile agentbased systems (MABS), which are based on the conditions of the underlying computer network. In addition, we propose a third algorithm for generating a random static planning strategy for mobile agents. The complexity of mobile agent network systems makes it hard to obtain the task route reliability...

The topological design of distributed computer networks essentially consists in finding a topology that minimizes the communication costs by taking into account a certain number of constraints such as delay and reliability. Under several aspects, it appears a very hard optimization problem. Therefore no exact solving approach can guarantee an optimal solution in realistic computation times, tha...
