This paper describes a model for generating time series which exhibit the statistical phenomenon known as long-range dependence (LRD). A Markov Modulated Process based upon an inf...
This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...
We consider the problem of data durability in lowbandwidth large-scale distributed storage systems. Given the limited bandwidth between replicas, these systems suffer from long re...
In this paper we present a new technique to simulate polymer blends that overcomes the shortcomings in polymer system modeling. This method has an inherent advantage in that the v...
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
