This paper considers QLtl, a quantitative analagon of Ltl and presents algorithms for model checking QLtl over quantitative versions of Kripke structures and Markov chains.
In general, decision support is one of the main purposes of model-based analysis of systems. Response surface methodology (RSM) is an optimization technique that has been applied ...
We analyze the mixing time of a natural local Markov chain (the Glauber dynamics) on configurations of the solid-onsolid model of statistical physics. This model has been proposed...
We propose a new image and blur prior model, based on nonstationary autoregressive (AR) models, and use these to blindly deconvolve blurred photographic images, using the Gibbs sa...
We propose several models based on discrete-time Markov chains for the analysis of Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs). Specifically, we examine the Pastry routing protocol, as well a...
