Research Trends on Network Reliability
by
Prof. Charlie Colbourn
of
Dept. of Combinatorics and Optimization
University of Waterloo
Abstract
Combinatorial reliability theory for network analysis is a field
which is moving rapidly from infancy to maturity. This talk out-
lines the traditional directions of the field, assuming little or
no background in the area. At UW, many new results in these
traditional directions have been obtained, and a number of in-
teresting new directions taken. The main focus of the talk is an
overview of the current research at UW in combinatorial reliabil-
ity theory. In particular, I will discuss recent research due to
Hosam AboElFotoh, Rob Day, Brad Debroni, Ehab Elmallah, Wendy
Myrvold, Lou Nel and the speaker.
