Abstract

ABSTRACT
This paper presents a computational study on the performance of reliability measures by using optimized ANN for computer networks with fixed and varying link reliabilities. This paper focus on the design of minimum cost reliable computer networks when a set of nodes, their topology, and links are given to connect them. A comparative study of various approaches for evaluating reliabilities has been studied such as Monte Carlo simulation methods and upper and lower bounds to bound reliability. The network design problem is difficult
when overall reliability measure is considered through these methods. The objective is to design a minimum cost reliable networks that meets minimum reliability requirements. Therefore, for optimal network design, an optimized ANN is used for reliability measures. An optimal ANN is constructed, trained and validated using topologies, fixed and varying link reliabilities, and upper-bound on reliability as inputs to produce overall reliability.

Keywords: Computer Networks, Link reliabilities, Optimized ANN, Network reliability, Upper-bound, Lowerbound
