Abstract. We compare several languages for specifying Markovian population models such as queuing networks and chemical reaction networks. These languages —matrix descriptions, s...

Simulated tempering and swapping are two families of sampling algorithms in which a parameter representing temperature varies during the simulation. The hope is that this will ove...
In this paper we present a novel performance analysis technique for large-scale systems modelled in the stochastic process algebra PEPA. In contrast to the well-known approach of ...
Lossy channel systems (LCS’s) are systems of finite state automata that communicate via unreliable unbounded fifo channels. We propose a new probabilistic model for these syste...
Abstract: This paper targets the reactive autonomic system's self-monitoring of one of the most important nonfunctional properties, reliability. There are currently no adequat...
