In this paper, we study the use of continuous-time hidden Markov models (CT-HMMs) for network protocol and application performance evaluation. We develop an algorithm to infer the...
Abstract. This paper presents TimeNET, a software tool for the modelling and performability evaluation using stochastic Petri nets. The tool has been designed especially for models...
: We introduce infrastructure monitoring as an application domain that demands decentralized system designs. This is motivated by the large scale of these systems, the heterogeneit...
Cloud computing has seen tremendous growth, particularly for commercial web applications. The on-demand, pay-as-you-go model creates a flexible and cost-effective means to access c...
