–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...
As the competition becomes more and more intense, many retail small store chain operators are eager to know how to evaluate new store locations quantitatively to support a scienti...
A scheme for disk subsystem performance enhancement that is based on (virtual) cylinder remapping is proposed. A natural workload on a real system is measured, and statistical tes...

We introduce a new methodology for the exact analysis of M/G/1-type Markov processes. The methodology uses basic, well-known results for Markov chains by exploiting the structure ...
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 ...
