On Static and Dynamic Partitioning Behavior of Large-Scale Networks
In this paper, we analyze the problem of network disconnection in the context of large-scale P2P networks and understand how both static and dynamic patterns of node failure affec...

QBDs with Marked Time Epochs: a Framework for Transient Performance Measures
A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...
