Data replication permits a better network bandwidth utilization and minimizes the effect of latency in large-scale systems such as computing grids. However, the cost of maintainin...
We consider the risk of a portfolio comprised of loans, bonds, and financial instruments that are subject to possible default. In particular, we are interested in performance meas...
Computer architects and designers rely heavily on simulation. The downside of simulation is that it is very time-consuming — simulating an industry-standard benchmark on todayâ€...
The solution of continuous and discrete-time Markovian models is still challenging mainly when we model large complex systems, for example, to obtain performance indexes of paralle...
: The need for analysis and modeling of knowledge has been espoused by many researchers as a prerequisite to building knowledge based systems (KBS). This approach has done little t...
