The problem of constructing independent spanning trees (ISTs) dates back to as early as late 1980s. Given a network G of a certain topology, the question is whether we can, as well as how to, construct a set of independent spanning trees in G . ISTs have proven to be of great importance in many network tasks. The past decade has seen a particularly remarkable increase in the literature on ISTs, manifesting a significant growth of interest. ISTs can be classified into edge-independent spanning trees (edge-ISTs), node-independent spanning trees (node-ISTs), and completely independent spanning trees (CISTs). For a network G , node-ISTs (edge-ISTs) rooted at u are a set of spanning trees rooted at u in G such that there are no common internal nodes (edges) between u and any other node among the paths in these spanning trees. If every node in a set of node-ISTs can act as a root node, the set of trees are called CISTs. This survey aims at bringing together important works on ISTs that have been reported in the literature. It provides a historical perspective of how the field has evolved, and can serve as an integrated useful resource of references for future research on ISTs.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
