this paper develops a model for distribution network expansion planning (dnep) considering reliability issues. with simultaneous switch placement and dnep, the proposed model tries to adequately consider the reliability issues in the planning stage in a way that the designed network has suitable performance from the reliability viewpoint. the reinforcement or installation of mv feeders and hv/m...

In this paper, we present and compare some exact methods to resolve the network reliability problems. These problems concern all kinds of networks, such as computer, communication or power networks. When components of the network are subject to random failures, the network may or may not continue functioning after the failures of some components. The probability that the network will function i...

Distributed Computing System (DCS) presents a platform consisting of multiple computing nodes connected in some fashion to which various modules of a task can be assigned. A node is any device connected to a computer network. Nodes can be computers or various other network applications. A task should be assigned to a processor whose capabilities are most appropriate for the execution of that ta...

Network structures and models have been widely adopted, e.g., for Internet of Things, wireless sensor networks, smart grids, transportation communication social computer grid systems. reliability is an effective popular technique to estimate the probability that network still functioning. Networks composed binary-state (e.g., working or failed) components (arcs and/or nodes) are called networks...

In this paper, the outage performance of wireless networks with unstructured topologies is investigated. The network reliability perspective graph theory used to obtain polynomial generalized for both uncorrelated and correlated channels. A relationship established between max-flow min-cut theo...

Parallel processing can be used to design high performance computing systems. In a parallel computer inter-connecting processors and linking them efficiently to the memory modules is not an easy task. Therefore, there is a requirement of an interconnection network that provides the desired connectivity and performance at minimum cost. Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) provide cost-effe...

Computation model has experienced a significant change since the emergence of the computer networks, which brought us much benefit that is difficult or even impossible to achieve by the traditional centralized system, such as resource sharing, high reliability, better price/performance ratio, and so on. Meanwhile, there also come many potential threats to the network community like unauthorized...
