We consider a finite buffer system where the buffer content moves in a Markov-additive way while it is strictly between the buffer boundaries. Upon reaching the upper boundary of t...
Abstract. Bisimulation reduction is a classical means to fight the infamous state space explosion problem, which limits the applicability of automated methods for verification li...
Phase-type (PH) distributions are proven to be very powerful tools in modelling and analysis of a wide range of phenomena in computer systems. The use of these distributions in sim...
We present a tool for the analysis of fault-tolerance in packet-switched communication networks. Network elements like links or routers can fail or unexpected traffic surges may o...

In this paper, we introduce and evaluate CrossTrace, a framework for performing cross-layer measurements in IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks. CrossTrace allows tracing of parame...
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...
