| Abstract | On many situations, unprepared or unexpected failures can be prevented if the deterioration of system compo~ents is recognized early and corrective actions are taken before potential failures occur. In this research, we present a model to determine an optimal "action limit" for a full-mesh ATM network whose branches are slowly deteriorating repairable. In many applications, service providers or operators can not afford to allow such unexpected failures to occur. It is more economical to replace the component before it actually fails. In such cases, replacement or overhaul will take place as the monitored performance index exceeds a certain threshold value called the action limit. Thus, the majority of failures can be eliminated. Bit error rates (BER) index of ATM network is continuously monitored under certain routine protocol to measure the end-to-end performance. The optimal action limit is derived so that the expected long run average total cost is minimized based on a full-mesh topology. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed model and the optimization results. |
