— Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a class of networks that experience frequent and long-duration partitions due to sparse distribution of nodes. The topological impairments ex...
Modern distributed software applications generally operate in complex and heterogeneous computing environments (like the World Wide Web). Different paradigms (client-server, mobili...
We present a translation of a generic stochastic process algebra model into a form suitable for stochastic simulation. By systematically generating rate equations from a process d...

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...

Synchronous systems can immediately react to the inputs of their environment which may lead to so-called causality cycles between actions and their trigger conditions. Systems wit...
