Ternary Networks: Reliability and Monte Carlo

Ternary means “based on three”. This book deals with reliability investigations of networks whose components subject to failures can be in three states –up, down and middle (mid), contrary to traditionally considered networks having only binary (up/down) components. Extending binary case to ternary allows to consider more realistic and flexible models for communication, flow and supply ne…

Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Dependability and Comple…

DepCoS – RELCOMEX is an annual series of conferences organized by Wrocław University of Technology to promote a comprehensive approach to evaluation of system performability which is now commonly called dependability. In contrast to classic analyses which were concentrated on reliability of technical resources and structures built from them, dependability is based on multi-disciplinary appro…

Towards a Territorial Multi-Disaster Buildings’ Resistance Certification

Disaster risk is increasing, not only in number of events, but also in incurred losses. Such increases are being driven also by the growing exposure of assets, due to the rapid urban growth, because vulnerability decreases as countries develop, but not enough to compensate. The situation will be more and more critical, due to the growth of the amount of the building stock. Thus we need new init…
