We consider a dynamic load balancing scenario in which users allocate resources in a non-cooperative and selfish fashion. The perceived performance of a resource for a user decre...

This paper proposes a stochastic fluid flow model to compute the transfer time distribution of resources in peer-to-peer file sharing applications. The amount of bytes transferred...

Biological systems are far more complex and robust than systems we can engineer today. One way to increase the complexity and robustness of our engineered systems is to study how ...
Modeling and simulation of very large systems introduces a number of issues that are not seen in the modeling of simpler systems. These arise because the resource requirements for...
Model checking can tell us whether a system is correct; probabilistic model checking can also tell us whether a system is timely and reliable. Moreover, probabilistic model checkin...
