We investigate the capability of localizing node failures in communication networks from binary states (normal/failed) of end-to-end paths. Given a set of nodes of interest, uniquely localizing failures within this set requires that…
We aim at assessing the states of the nodes in a network by means of end-to-end monitoring paths. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we consider a static failure scenario. In this context, we aim at minimizing the number of…
Network tomography has been used as an approach to the Node Failure Localisation problem, whereby misbehaving subsets of nodes in a network are to be determined. Typically approaches in the literature assume a statically routed network,…
A new general all terminal network reliability factorization theorem is stated. We relegate the proof to a forthcoming second part paper.
Link failures in supply networks can have catastrophic consequences that can lead to a complete collapse of the network. Strategies to prevent failure spreading are thus heavily sought after. Here, we make use of a spanning tree formulation…
In practice, since many communication networks are huge in scale or complicated in structure even dynamic, the predesigned network codes based on the network topology is impossible even if the topological structure is known. Therefore,…
Boolean network tomography is a powerful tool to infer the state (working/failed) of individual nodes from path-level measurements obtained by egde-nodes. We consider the problem of optimizing the capability of identifying network failures…
Failures in optical network backbone can lead to major disruption of internet data traffic. Hence, minimizing such failures is of paramount importance for the network operators. Even better, if the network failures can be predicted and…

This paper investigates the localization problem of a network in 2-D and 3-D spaces given the positions of anchor nodes in a global frame and inter-node relative measurements in local coordinate frames. It is assumed that the local frames…
Transmission line failures in power systems propagate non-locally, making the control of the resulting outages extremely difficult. In this work, we establish a mathematical theory that characterizes the patterns of line failure propagation…
