This book presents novel and efficient tools, techniques and approaches for reliability evaluation, reliability analysis, and design of reliable communication networks using graph theoretic concepts.

Keeping in view the growth of the technological frontiers, there is always a need for the development of reliable, fault tolerant and cost- effective interconnection networks (INs) which are the critical metrics to achieve the goal of parallelism.

Parallel computers with multiple processors have emerged to meet energy-efficient performance demands of current and future challenging computing applications. These multiprocessor systems need interconnection networks for connecting processors and memory modules. Advances in parallel and distributed computing have made interconnection networks a potential networking alternative to meet the growing demands of high-performance computing applications. These networks need to perform continuously without repair for long periods of time. Therefore, these need to be reliable and fault-tolerant as these networks are quite complex and big in size. Failure of its components should not lead to complete network failure as it may be catastrophic.

The main objective of this book is to device approaches for reliability modeling and evaluation of such complex networks. Such evaluation helps to understand which network can give us better reliability by their design. New designs of fault-tolerant interconnection network layouts are proposed, which are capable of providing high reliability through path redundancy and fault tolerance through reduction of common elements in paths.

This book covers the reliability evaluation of various network topologies considering multiple reliability performance parameters (two terminal reliability, broadcast reliability, all terminal reliability, and multiple sources to multiple destinations reliability).

The main objective of this book is to design new fault tolerant interconnection network layouts capable of path redundancy among dynamic failures. New INs designs are proposed and their observed results are found promising when compared with some of the earlier networks.

The book also covers the reliability evaluation of various industrial network topologies considering multiple reliability performance parameters (2-TR, broadcast and ATR). Finally, the book also focuses on reliability evaluation and comparison of various topologies considering connectivity among multiple sources and multiple destinations (MSMT) nodes.

Audience:
The book will appeal to a wide range of readers from researchers and students to reliability engineers, electrical engineers, high performance computer engineers, and other engineering professionals involved in the design, development, manufacture and maintenance of reliable engineering products and systems.
