Parallel Computer Workload Modeling with Markov Chains
Abstract. In order to evaluate different scheduling strategies for parallel computers, simulations are often executed. As the scheduling quality highly depends on the workload tha...

Navigation Pattern Discovery Using Grammatical Inference
We present a method for modeling user navigation on a web site using grammatical inference of stochastic regular grammars. With this method we achieve better models than the previo...

Verifying Probabilistic Procedural Programs
Abstract. Monolithic finite-state probabilistic programs have been abstractly modeled by finite Markov chains, and the algorithmic verification problems for them have been inves...

Inferring Mixtures of Markov Chains
We define the problem of inferring a “mixture of Markov chains” based on observing a stream of interleaved outputs from these chains. We show a sharp characterization of the i...

Recursive Markov Chains, Stochastic Grammars, and Monotone Systems of Nonlinear Equations
We introduce and study Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs), which extend ordinary finite state Markov chains with the ability to invoke other Markov chains in a potentially recursive m...

Path Coupling Using Stopping Times
Abstract. We analyse the mixing time of Markov chains using path coupling with stopping times. We apply this approach to two hypergraph problems. We show that the Glauber dynamics ...

Comparative Analysis of Bisimulation Relations on Alternating and Non-Alternating Probabilistic Models
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...

Limiting Behavior of Markov Chains with Eager Attractors
We consider discrete infinite-state Markov chains which contain an eager finite attractor. A finite attractor is a finite subset of states that is eventually reached with prob...

A Local Switch Markov Chain on Given Degree Graphs with Application in Connectivity of Peer-to-Peer Networks
We study a switch Markov chain on regular graphs, where switches are allowed only between links that are at distance 3; we call this the Flip. The motivation for studying the Flip...

Predictive E-Mail Server Performability Analysis Based on Fuzzy Arithmetic
–The performability of disk arrays systems has been studied before. However, in the case of imprecise data, a fuzzy model can be the base for the performability analysis. This pa...
