Purpose As a response to the growing operational and disruptive threats to water distribution networks (WDNs), researchers have developed a vast array of methods for the reliability analysis of WDNs. In order to follow this growing number of methods, this paper reviews and documents in one place...

Purpose – Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) are a class of network systems designed to improve communication in large‐scale parallel processing systems. These networks facilitate the communications to perform a single overall task in a parallel processing system consisting of a...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the different interpretations of four key performance indicators of water distribution networks (WDNs): reliability, resilience, redundancy and robustness. It then addresses a range of metrics which have been developed to assess the performance of...
