Topological optimization with a network reliability constraint

Topological Optimization of a Communication Network Subject to a Reliability Constraint

Conclusions This paper considers network topological optimization with a reliability constraint. The objective is to find the topological layout of links, a t a minimal cost, under the constraint that the network reliability is not less than a given level of system reliability. A decomposition method, based on branch & bound, is used for solving the problem. In order to speed-up the procedure, ...

A Noisy Chaotic Neural Network Approach to Topological Optimization of a Communication Network with Reliability Constraints

Network topological optimization in communication network is to find the topological layout of network links with the minimal cost under the constraint that all-terminal reliability of network is not less than a given level of system reliability. The all-terminal reliability is defined as the probability that every pair of nodes in the network can communicate with each other. The topological op...

A Chance Constraint Approach to Multi Response Optimization Based on a Network Data Envelopment Analysis

In this paper, a novel approach for multi response optimization is presented. In the proposed approach, response variables in treatments combination occur with a certain probability. Moreover, we assume that each treatment has a network style. Because of the probabilistic nature of treatment combination, the proposed approach can compute the efficiency of each treatment under the desirable reli...

Bi-objective optimization of a blood supply chain network with reliability of blood centers

This paper presents a multi-periodic, multi-echelon blood supply chain network consisting of blood donors, mobile collection units, local blood centers, main blood centers and demand points in which the local and main blood centers are subject to random failure in dispatching blood products to demand points. The problem has two objectives including minimization of the total chain costs and maxi...
