Using of particle swarm optimization (PSO) to addressed reliability allocation of complex network

Abstract

This paper focuses on the reliability of complex system that has been measured as a complex system using minimal paths. The reliability of this system has been assigned to research the possible approaches of the assignment reliability values based on reducing the total cost of this method. The results originally included:(i) Three cost functions were used to measure the cost of the complex system: First, the exponential behavior model with the feasibility factor model. Second, the exponential behavior model. Third, the logarithm model.(ii) The reliability of every component of the system was calculated using Particle Swarm algorithm to solve the problems of optimizing the given reliability of the complex system.
