Embedded systems for closed-loop applications often behave as discrete-time semi-Markov processes (DTSMPs). Performability measures most meaningful to iterative embedded systems, ...
The paper introduces a method to model embedded dependability-critical systems as AND-composition of Guarded Statecharts which are special UMLstatecharts. With Guarded Statecharts...
In this paper, we compare the availability and performance of a wireless TDMA system with and without automatic protection switching. Stochastic reward net models are constructed ...

High-level stochastic description methods such as stochastic Petri nets, stochastic UML statecharts etc., together with specifications of performance variables (PVs), enable a co...
