System/Network Reliability Evaluation for Industrial and Service Systems
From the perspective of system service level, this presentation will focus on system/network reliability evaluation for a stochastic flow network where each arc has several possible capacities with a (arbitrary) probability distribution. Many real-life industrial or service systems such as computer systems, telecommunication systems, urban traffic systems, logistics systems, electric power systems, disaster rescue systems can be regarded as stochastic flow networks. System/Network reliability is the probability that the system can transmit a given units of data/commodity from the source(s) to the sink(s) under some specified constraints. These constraints may be budget, time, or length. In this talk, several models and algorithms are introduced for solving different practical industrial and service systems. Some applications in several fields are introduced as well.
