The choice of the selection method used in an evolutionary algorithm may have considerable impacts on the behavior of the entire algorithm. Therefore, earlier work was devoted to t...
Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have...
IC manufacturing process variations are typically expressed in terms of joint probability density functions (jpdf’s) or as worst case combinations/corners of the device model pa...
Passage time densities are useful performance measurements in stochastic systems. With them the modeller can extract probabilistic quality-of-service guarantees such as: the proba...
