The semantic web is expected to have an impact at least as big as that of the existing HTML based web, if not greater. However, the challenge lays in creating this semantic web an...
Markovian process algebras, such as PEPA and stochastic -calculus, bring a powerful compositional approach to the performance modelling of complex systems. However, the models gen...
In this paper we investigate the effect of three time-triggered system rejuvenation policies on service availability using a queuing model. The model is formulated as an extended ...
Abstract—Peer-to-peer storage systems aim to provide a reliable long-term storage at low cost. In such systems, peers fail continuously, hence, the necessity of self-repairing me...
When making an engineering design decision, it is often necessary to consider its implications on both system performance and dependability. In this paper, we present a performabi...
