Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2015, held in Albena, Bulgaria, in May 2015. The 15 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers discuss the latest developments in analytical, numerical and simulation algorithms for stochastic systems, including Markov processes, queueing networks, stochastic Petri nets, process algebras, game theory, etc.
Formal Methods and Stochastic Models for Performance Evaluation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Performance Engineering Workshop, EPEW 2006, held in Budapest, Hungary in June 2006. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stochastic process algebra, workloads and benchmarks, theory of stochastic processes, formal dependability and performance evaluation, as well as queues, theory and practice.
Self-star Properties in Complex Information Systems
This book is a spin-off of a by-invitation-only workshop on self-* properties in complex systems held in summer 2004 in Bertinoro, Italy. The workshop aimed to identify the conceptual and practical foundations for modeling, analyzing, and achieving self-* properties in distributed and networked systems. Based on the discussions at the workshop, papers were solicited from workshop participants and invited from leading researchers in the field. Besides presenting sound research results, the papers also present visionary statements, thought-provoking ideas, and exploratory results. The 27 carefully reviewed revised full papers, presented together with a motivating introduction and overview, are organized in topical sections on self-organization, self-awareness, self-awareness versus self-organization, supporting self-properties, and peer-to-peer algorithms.
Self-Aware Computing Systems
This book provides formal and informal definitions and taxonomies for self-aware computing systems, and explains how self-aware computing relates to many existing subfields of computer science, especially software engineering. It describes architectures and algorithms for self-aware systems as well as the benefits and pitfalls of self-awareness, and reviews much of the latest relevant research across a wide array of disciplines, including open research challenges. The chapters of this book are organized into five parts: Introduction, System Architectures, Methods and Algorithms, Applications and Case Studies, and Outlook. Part I offers an introduction that defines self-aware computing system...
Mathematical Research for Blockchain Economy
This book presents the best papers from the 1st International Conference on Mathematical Research for Blockchain Economy (MARBLE) 2019, held in Santorini, Greece. While most blockchain conferences and forums are dedicated to business applications, product development or Initial Coin Offering (ICO) launches, this conference focused on the mathematics behind blockchain to bridge the gap between practice and theory. Every year, thousands of blockchain projects are launched and circulated in the market, and there is a tremendous wealth of blockchain applications, from finance to healthcare, education, media, logistics and more. However, due to theoretical and technical barriers, most of these applications are impractical for use in a real-world business context. The papers in this book reveal the challenges and limitations, such as scalability, latency, privacy and security, and showcase solutions and developments to overcome them.
Stochastic Models for Fault Tolerance
As modern society relies on the fault-free operation of complex computing systems, system fault-tolerance has become an indispensable requirement. Therefore, we need mechanisms that guarantee correct service in cases where system components fail, be they software or hardware elements. Redundancy patterns are commonly used, for either redundancy in space or redundancy in time. Wolter’s book details methods of redundancy in time that need to be issued at the right moment. In particular, she addresses the so-called "timeout selection problem", i.e., the question of choosing the right time for different fault-tolerance mechanisms like restart, rejuvenation and checkpointing. Restart indicates ...
Formal Methods for Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages
This book presents a set of 4 papers accompanying the lectures of leading researchers given at the 10th edition of the International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Communication and Software Systems, SFM 2010, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in June 2010. SFM 2010 was devoted to formal methods for quantitative aspects of programming languages and covered several topics including probabilistic and timed models, model checking, static analysis, quantum computing, real-time and embedded systems, and security.
