The design, development, and use of complex systems models raises a unique class of challenges and potential pitfalls, many of which are commonly recurring problems. Over time, res...
Contemporary embedded systems quite often employ extremely complicated software consisting of a number of interrelated components, and this has made object-oriented design methodo...
Accurate network modeling is critical to the design of network protocols. Traditional modeling approaches, such as Discrete Time Markov Chains (DTMC) are limited in their ability ...
“Faster, Better, Cheaper” (FBC) was a systems development methodology used by NASA in the 1990s. While usually a deprecated practice, we find that, with certain caveats, it is...
This paper describes a way to manage the modeling and analysis of Scheduled Maintenance Systems (SMS) within an analytically tractable context. We chose a significant case study h...
