Passage time densities are useful performance measurements in stochastic systems. With them the modeller can extract probabilistic quality-of-service guarantees such as: the proba...

We present a new approximation method called value extrapolation for Markov processes with large or infinite state spaces. The method can be applied for calculating any performan...
Entity linkage is central to almost every data integration and data cleaning scenario. Traditional techniques use some computed similarity among data structure to perform merges a...

— Although efficient processing of probabilistic databases is a well-established field, a wide range of applications are still unable to benefit from these techniques due to t...
Abstract. We present in this paper a new model for representing probabilistic information in a semi-structured (XML) database, based on the use of probabilistic event variables. Th...
