Abstract
Abstract A general purpose, high performance algorithm for reliability evaluation of distributed systems is developed in this research. The algorithm is general in the sense that it is used to evaluate different network reliability measures such as terminal, K -terminal, all-terminal, and degraded system reliability. Furthermore, it is used to evaluate the above measures in networks that are directed or undirected as well as in networks with perfect or imperfect nodes. The options for numeric or symbolic and exact or approximate reliability computation are also available. The algorithm efficiently calculates reliability of distributed systems with sizes of practical interest, and has comparable or much better speed than other reported algorithms. Another significant contribution of this paper is the method for efficient handling of systems with imperfect nodes, an issue which is particularly important for practical distributed systems with unreliable processing nodes.
