Availability in Large Networks: Global Characteristics from Local Unreliability Properties

  • Conference paper
Measurement, Modelling, and Evaluation of Computing Systems and Dependability and Fault Tolerance (MMB&DFT 2012)

Abstract

We apply mean-field analysis to compute global availability in large networks of generalized SIS and voter models. The main results provide comparison and bounding techniques of the global availability depending on the local degree structure of the networks.
