This paper constructs a revised stochastic flow network to model a realistic computer network in which each arc has a lead time and a stochastic capacity. The minimum time to send a specified amount of data through the network is thus uncertain. Hence, this paper mainly proposes an approach for...

Network reliability is a performance indicator of computer/communication networks to measure the quality level. However, it is costly to improve or maximize network reliability. This study attempts to maximize network reliability with minimal cost by finding the optimal transmission line...
