We review the DEVS modeling and simulation framework Its fundamental concepts are discussed from the standpoint of discrete event information processing with an example drawn from...
This paper is motivated by a simple question: what are the energy consumption characteristics of mobile storage alternatives? To answer this question, we are faced with a design s...

— This paper introduces a new benchmark tool, SPEK (Storage Performance Evaluation Kernel module), for evaluating the performance of block-level storage systems in the presence o...
Disk drive manufacturers are putting increasingly larger built-in caches into disk drives. Today, 2 MB buffers are common on low-end retail IDE/ATA drives, and some SCSI drives ar...
All enterprise storage systems depend on disk arrays to satisfy their capacity, reliability, and availability requirements. Performance models of disk arrays are useful in underst...

Abstract. The availability of reliable models of computer virus propagation would prove useful in a number of ways, in order both to predict future threats, and to develop new cont...
System-level design presents special simulation modeling challenges. System-level models address the architectural and functional performance of complex systems. Systems are decom...
