Abstract
Consider a network of unreliable links, each of which comes with a certain price and reliability. Given a fixed budget, which links should be bought in order to maximize the system's reliability? We introduce a Cross-Entropy approach to this problem, which can deal effectively with the noise and constraints in this difficult combinatorial optimization problem. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
