Abstract

This chapter presents the primitive steps in computation of network reliability, and some of the popular examples by applying network reliability. Network reliability is one of the most interesting topics in network theory. It has been applied to many real-world applications such as traffic planning, computer network planning, power transmission planning, etc. The planners usually want to know how reliable the systems they planned. Network reliability helps them to get the answer of such questions. Due to its NP-hard nature, many approaches have been developed to tackle the efficiency problems in computations. One of the most promising methods is the three-stage approach, which divides the problem into three smaller problems and conquers them, making the resolution process more efficient than others. Several examples are presented in the chapter for illustrative purposes.
