N2 - This paper presents a new algorithm that can be readily applied to solve general all-terminal network reliability allocation problems. The optimization problem solved considers the minimization of the network design cost subject to a known network reliability requirement. The algorithm is based on two major steps that use a probabilistic discovery approach and Monte Carlo simulation to generate solutions to these problems. Examples for different network behavior are used throughout the paper to illustrate the approach. The results obtained for these test cases are compared with other proposed methods to show how the algorithm can generate very good solutions in a significantly small solution search space.
