This paper presents, fromthe author's perspective, the problems that occur in practice during data modelling. The author's experiences are a result of a considerable num...
With the increased popularity of replica-based services in distributed systems such as the Grid, consistency control among replicas becomes more and more important. To this end, I...
In this paper we provide a general method to derive productform solutions for stochastic models. We take inspiration from the Reversed Compound Agent Theorem [14] and we provide a...
