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 ...
—The departure process of a BMAP/MAP/1 queue can be approximated in different ways: as a Markovian arrival process (MAP) or as a matrix-exponential process (MEP). Both approximat...

Brain processes responsible for understanding language are approximated by spreading activation in semantic networks, providing enhanced representations that involve concepts not ...
—The problem of minimum cost in-network fusion of measurements, collected from distributed sensors via multihop routing is considered. A designated fusion center performs an opti...

We present a technique for computing approximately optimal solutions to stochastic resource allocation problems modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). We exploit two key pro...
