Fluid Flow Approximation of PEPA models
In this paper we present a novel performance analysis technique for large-scale systems modelled in the stochastic process algebra PEPA. In contrast to the well-known approach of ...

Transition probability bounds for the stochastic stability robustness of continuous- and discrete-time Markovian jump linear sys
This paper considers the robustness of stochastic stability of Markovian jump linear systems in continuous- and discrete-time with respect to their transition rates and probabilit...

Derivation of Passage-time Densities in PEPA Models using ipc: the Imperial PEPA Compiler
We present a technique for defining and extracting passage-time densities from high-level stochastic process algebra models. Our high-level formalism is PEPA, a popular Markovian...
