This paper assesses the predictability of network traffic by considering two metrics: (1) how far into the future a traffic rate process can be predicted with bounded error; (2) w...
Previous quantitative models of security or survivability have been defined on a range of probable intruder behavior. This measures survivability as a statistic such as mean time...
Queueing networks are gaining attraction for the performance analysis of parallel computer systems. A Jackson network is a set of interconnected servers, where the completion of a...
Background: In addition to their use in detecting undesired real-time PCR products, melting temperatures are useful for detecting variations in the desired target sequences. Metho...
Abstract—This paper presents a model and theory for streaming layered video. We model the bandwidth available to the streaming application as a stochastic process whose statistic...
