Abstract

Concepts of stochastic network have been defined and GERT analysis has been presented for them. Various Systems which present complex logical elements, uncertain activities, multi-sources and multiple terminals and for which very often only intuitive judgement had to be applied, can be easily formulated in a concise and compact network form. Methods of computation for various performance measures have been given and they can help in decision-making.
