The main aim of this paper is to establish a reliable model both for the steady-state and unsteady-state regimes of a nonlinear process. The use of this model should reflect the t...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
The paper presents an overview of financial applications of copulas. Copulas permit to represent joint distribution functions by splitting the marginal behavior, embedded in the ma...
To understand the evolution of software researchers have developed a plethora of tools to parse, model, and analyze the history of systems. Despite their usefulness, a common down...
