Abstract. Computing tight performance bounds in feed-forward networks under general assumptions about arrival and server models has turned out to be a challenging problem. Recently...
Data structures often use an integer variable to keep track of the number of elements they store. An invariant of such data structure is that the value of the integer variable is ...
The elastic block cipher design employs the round function of a given, b-bit block cipher in a black box fashion, embedding it in a network structure to construct a family of ciphe...
Spectral expansion and matrix analytic methods are important solution mechanisms for matrix polynomial equations. These equations are encountered in the steady-state analysis of M...
We propose rewriting logic as a unifying framework for a wide range of Petri nets models. We treat in detail place/transition nets and important extensions of the basic model by in...
