The method of stochastic state classes approaches the analysis of Generalised Semi Markov Processes (GSMP) through symbolic derivation of probability density functions over Differe...
Although Web prefetching is regarded as an effective method to improve client access performance, the associated overhead prevents it from being widely deployed. Specifically, a ...
One of the typical features of distributed systems is the heterogeneity of its components (e.g. geographical spreading and different platform architectures), leading to interopera...
