—For software, the costs of failures are not clearly understood. Often, these costs disappear in the costs of testing, the general developments costs, or the operating expenses. ...
The paper discusses a formal approach for specifying time-dependent Web applications and proposes a Markov model for reliability prediction. Measures for predicting reliability ar...
–The performability of disk arrays systems has been studied before. However, in the case of imprecise data, a fuzzy model can be the base for the performability analysis. This pa...
Markov chains have been used to model web usages and served as the basis for statistical testing, performance evaluation, and reliability analysis. However, most of such applicati...
Modern distributed software applications generally operate in complex and heterogeneous computing environments (like the World Wide Web). Different paradigms (client-server, mobili...
