Trace Machines for Observing Continuous-Time Markov Chains
In this paper, we study several linear-time equivalences (Markovian trace equivalence, failure and ready trace equivalence) for continuous-time Markov chains that refer to the pro...

A Multi-Level Method for the Steady State Solution of Markov Chains
This paper illustrates the current state of development of an algorithm for the steady state solution of continuous-time Markov chains. The so-called multi-level algorithm utilize...

Stochastic Hybrid Systems: Application to Communication Networks
We propose a model for Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHSs) where transitions between discrete modes are triggered by stochastic events much like transitions between states of a contin...

A Wavefront Parallelisation of CTMC Solution Using MTBDDs
In this paper, we present a parallel implementation for the steady-state analysis of continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs). This analysis is performed via solution of a linear equ...

Lumping Matrix Diagram Representations of Markov Models
Continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs) have been used successfully to model the dependability and performability of many systems. Matrix diagrams (MDs) are known to be a space-ef...
