This paper introduces EZStrobe, a very simple but powerful general-purpose simulation system. Although designed for modeling construction operations, EZStrobe is domain independen...
In this paper, we develop a theory of modular design and refinement of hierarchical hybrid systems. In particular, we present compositional trace-based semantics for the language ...
With the advent of Grid and application technologies, scientists and engineers are building more and more complex applications to manage and process large data sets, and execute s...
This paper presents a simulation study on complex On-Line Transaction Processing systems using TPC-C workload. The impacts on the response time of Inter-Connection Network (ICN) i...
Quantitative performance modeling of complex information systems is of immense importance for designing enterprise e-business infrastructures and applications. In this paper, we p...
