| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I developped a new methodology to evaluate the effects of countermeasures for cascading failures on telecommunications networks. Numerical experiments show the results which are helpful to clarify the best-mix of countermeasures. The key idea of my methodoogy is to prepare a new evaluation mesure to express the total or partial traffic volumes after the occrrences of cascading failures. This is quite different from the existing measure expressing size of surviving block after cascading failures. I also clarify anther new mesure considering the frequency of occurrences of cascading failures. We tested verious types of countermeasures and found some interesting and useful facts. For example, Increasing capacities of equipments do not always reach the best countermeasure to reduce the damages of cascading failures. Ather results show that the policy to allocate equipments causes different frequency and magnetude of damages caused by cascading failures.
