Modelling complex concurrent systems is often difficult and error-prone, in particular when new concepts coming from advanced practical applications are considered. These new appl...
Obtaining representative and concise I/O workloads for the purpose of projecting the performance of storage systems remains a challenge due to the complex nature of I/O behaviors....
Reputation mechanisms are a key technique to trust assessment in large-scale decentralized systems. The effectiveness of reputation-based trust management fundamentally relies on ...
It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server alloca...
We present an extension of a mathematical framework proposed by the authors to deal with the composition of heterogeneous reactive systems. Our extended framework encompasses dive...
