Decision-theoretic models have become increasingly popular as a basis for solving agent and multiagent problems, due to their ability to quantify the complex uncertainty and prefe...
— Active worms spread in an automated fashion and can flood the Internet in a very short time. Modeling the spread of active worms can help us understand how active worms spread...
Ensuring the correctness of computer systems used in lifecritical applications is very difficult. The most commonly used verification methods, simulation and testing, are not exha...
This paper investigates the influence of the interconnection network topology of a parallel system on the delivery time of an ensemble of messages, called the communication scheme...
Today many formalisms exist for specifying complex Markov chains. In contrast, formalisms for specifying rewards, enabling the analysis of long-run average performance properties,...
