Abstract— Approximation techniques for labelled Markov processes on continuous state spaces were developed by Desharnais, Gupta, Jagadeesan and Panangaden. However, it has not be...
We consider bisimulation and weak bisimulation relations in the context of the Labeled Markov Chains of Hansson and Jonsson, the Concurrent Labeled Markov Chains of Philippou, Lee...
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...
Quality of service (QoS) in streaming of continuous media over the Internet is poor, which is partly due to variations in delays, bandwidth limitations, and packet losses. Althoug...
