Abstract

In the present methodological work, a simulation modeling approach to the evaluation of the reliability characteristics of network systems, based on a combination of Cellular Automata (CA) and Monte Carlo simulation (MC), is illustrated. By integrating the CA modeling paradigm with the MC technique for stochastic sampling and simulation it is possible to effectively verify the existence of the connection between source and terminal targets in a network of nodes and evaluate its reliability and availability characteristics.
