This paper describes the tool CASPA, a new performance evaluation tool which is based on a Markovian stochastic process algebra. CASPA uses multi-terminal binary decision diagrams ...
A multilevel adaptive aggregation method for calculating the stationary probability vector of an irreducible stochastic matrix is described. The method is a special case of the ada...

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 ...
This paper surveys the theoretical developments in the field of stochastic process algebras, process algebras where action occurrences may be subject to a delay that is determined...
Published results show that various models may be obtained by combining parallel composition with probability and with or without non-determinism. In this paper we treat this probl...
