KSPTH: a subroutine for the K shortest paths in a sabotage graph

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7085571· OSTI ID:7085571
Finding shortest paths in a weighted graph model is one way for a safeguards analyst to locate weaknesses in a facility's barrier and alarm system. KSPTH can be used to rank sabotage paths according to path length so that the K shortest paths can be studied by more detailed methods to see which possess additional properties attractive to an adversary. While emphasizing how to use KSPTH, this report explains the K-th shortest path algorithm of Hoffman, Pavley and Dreyfus and contains a sample problem test results and program listings.
