Timed Branching Processes
We study Timed Branching Processes (TBPs), a natural extension of (multitype) Branching Processes (BPs) where each entity is equipped with a finite set of private continuous variab...

DTMC Model Checking by SCC Reduction
Discrete-Time Markov Chains (DTMCs) are a widely-used formalism to model probabilistic systems. On the one hand, available tools like PRISM or MRMC offer efficient model checking a...

Information Hiding in Probabilistic Concurrent Systems
Information hiding is a general concept which refers to the goal of preventing an adversary to infer secret information from the observables. Anonymity and Information Flow are exa...

The Measurable Space of Stochastic Processes
Abstract--We introduce a stochastic extension of CCS endowed with structural operational semantics expressed in terms of measure theory. The set of processes is organised as a meas...

Automating the Mean-Field Method for Large Dynamic Gossip Networks
Abstract--We investigate an abstraction method, called meanfield method, for the performance evaluation of dynamic networks with pairwise communication between nodes. It allows us ...

Fortuna: Model Checking Priced Probabilistic Timed Automata
We introduce Fortuna, the first tool for model checking priced probabilistic timed automata (PPTAs). Fortuna can handle the combination of real-time, probabilistic and cost feature...

Canonical Form Based MAP(2) Fitting
The importance of the order two Markovian arrival process (MAP(2)) comes from its compactness, serving either as arrival or service process in applications, and from the nice prope...
