The problem of searching for important factors in a simulation model is considered when the simulation output is subject to stochastic variation. Bettonvil and Kleijnen (1996) giv...
Monte Carlo techniques have long been used (since Buffon's experiment to approximate the value of by tossing a needle onto striped paper) to analyze phenomena which, due to ...

Due to the prevalence of peer dynamics (i.e., churn), object maintenance becomes a fundamental issue in peer-to-peer storage systems. Although quite a few prototypes have been des...
We present a formal framework to evaluate stochastic properties of MANET protocols. It captures the interplay between stochastic behavior of protocols deployed at different network...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
