In this talk I will address the design problem of a reliable network. Previous work assumes that link failures are independent, however, we will assess the impact of dropping this assumption. We will see that under a common-cause failure model, dependencies between failures can affect the optimal design, and provide an integer programming algorithm to determine it. Furthermore, we will discuss how the dependence between the links that participate in the solution and those that do not can be handled. Time permitting, other dependency models will be discussed. This work is in collaboration with H. Cancela and E. Moreno.
