TY - JOUR AU - Hassan, Moatamad Refaat PY - 2018 TI - Minimizing Transmission Time under Required System Capacity Constraint in Stochastic-Flow Networks JF - American Journal of Applied Sciences VL - 15 IS - 5 DO - 10.3844/ajassp.2018.251.260 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajassp.2018.251.260 AB - In the case of an existing limited capacity of the system called required system capacity, in this study a new method is presented to determine the disjoint paths to send data from the source to the sink. System reliability is evaluated as the probability that a specified amount of data can be transmitted from a source to a sink through two disjoint paths, subject to a time threshold and a required capacity. In addition, we study the effect of using the proposed method on the reliability evaluation in comparison with other previous methods.
