Designing survivable resilient networks: A stochastic hybrid genetic algorithm approach

Abdullah Konak and Michael R. Bartolacci

Omega, 2007, vol. 35, issue 6, 645-658

Abstract: As high-speed networks have proliferated across the globe, their topologies have become sparser due to the increased reliability of components and cost considerations. Reliability has been a traditional goal within network design optimization. An alternative design consideration, network resilience, has not been studied or incorporated into network designs nearly as much. The authors propose a methodology for the difficult estimation of traffic efficiency (TE), a measure of network resilience, and a hybrid genetic algorithm to design networks using this measure.
