Abstract. To support model-based development and analysis of embedded systems, the specification language VDM++ has been extended with asynchronous communication and improved timin...
The Markov chain approximation method is an effective and widely used approach for computing optimal values and controls for stochastic systems. It was extended to nonlinear (and p...
This paper analyzes a single server queueing system in which service is alternated between two queues and the server requires a (finite) switchover time to switch from one queue ...
We introduce a new model for distributed algorithms designed for large scale systems that need a low-overhead solution to allow the processes to communicate with each other. We as...
The competitive pressures of the telecoms sector are leading to a major push towards the automation and integration of many operational support processes. This creates pressures to...
