Data mining is increasingly performed by people who are not computer scientists or professional programmers. It is often done as an iterative process involving multiple ad-hoc tas...
We propose new techniques to simplify the computation of the cycle times and the absorption times for a large class of PEPA models. These techniques allow us to simplify the model ...
The accurate and efficient modeling of Internet worms is a particularly challenging task for network simulation tools. The atypical and aggressive behavior of these worms can easi...
We propose a discrete variant of the Bak-Sneppen model for self-organized criticality. In this process, a configuration is an n-bit word, and at each step one chooses a random bit...
In the random mosaic generated by a stationary Poisson hyperplane process in Rd , we consider the typical k-face weighted by the j-dimensional volume of the j-skeleton (0 j k d)...
