Abstract

The quantification of system reliability is fundamental to the assessment of a system’ssafety and resilience, and has been of interest to decision-makers. Since quantifying thesystem reliability is shown to be computationally intractable, researchers aim to find ap-proximations. Existing approaches to approximate reliability either suffer from poor scal-ability or lack of correctness guarantees. Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a powerfultool for knowledge representation that can specify complex combinatorial problems. Inrecent years, the new applications of ASP have propelled the emergence of well-engineeredASP systems. This paper proposes a new ASP counting based framework, RelNet-ASP,to approximate or estimate the reliability of a system or network. The framework reducesthe problem of reliability estimation to an approximate model counting problem on ASPprograms, offering formal guarantees of the estimated reliability. The experimental eval-uation demonstrates that RelNet-ASP outperforms state-of-the-art techniques in terms ofboth runtime performance and accuracy.
