The performance analysis of multiserver systems is notoriously hard, especially when the
system involves resource sharing or prioritization. We provide two new analytical tools for …

We propose a family of finite approximations for the departure process of a BMAP/MAP/1
queue. The departure process approximations are derived via an exact aggregate solution …

A firewall policy that is correct and complete is crucial to the safety of a computer network. An
adversary will benefit a lot from knowing the policy or its semantics. In this paper, we …

A system with n components, one online and the rest in standby subject to repair is
considered. The shocks causing the failure of the system follow a Markovian arrival process …

We propose a family of finite approximations for the departure process of a MAP/MAP/1
queue. The departure process approximations are derived via an exact aggregate solution …

This paper presents closed-form expressions to exactly match three moments and a
correlation parameter into a Markovian arrival process of second order (MAP (2)), whose …

Heterogeneous streams (due to issues such as disparate traffic characteristics of each
stream, or competing customers' traffic) raise the issue of whether to multiplex (some of) …

This paper shows how to construct a Markovian arrival process of second order from
information on the marginal distribution and on its autocorrelation function. More precisely …

In this paper we present results for bivariate exponential distributions which are represented
by phase type distributions. The paper extends results from previous publications [3, 11] on …

Providing probabilistic analysis of queueing models can be difficult when the input
distributions are non-Markovian. In response, a plethora of methods have been developed …
