raction of free-standing metadata describing learning objects is typified by an analytical model which primarily focuses on the encoding of discrete properties pertaining to the ...
We propose a new theoretical framework for generalizing the traditional notion of covariance. First, we discuss the role of pairwise cross-cumulants by introducing a cluster expan...
An analytical framework for modeling the performance of a single TCP session in the presence of random packet loss is presented that is based on a semi-Markov model for the window ...
Markov jump processes play an important role in a large number of application domains. However, realistic systems are analytically intractable and they have traditionally been ana...
This work presents a model of a distributed database system which provides the framework to study the performance of timestamp ordering concurrency control. We exhibit an analytic...
