Two important Quality-of-Service (QoS) measures for cellular networks are the fractions of
New Calls (NCs) and Handoff Calls (HCs). These types of calls are usually blocked or …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) form a large part of the ecosystem of the Internet of Things
(IoT), hence they have numerous application domains with varying performance and …

In this paper we provide an abstract view of the long-term evolution vehicular ad-hoc
network (LTE-V) and propose analytical models to obtain its reliability and survivability …

Composite performance and availability analysis of computer systems has gained
considerable attention in recent years. Pure performance analysis of a system tends to be …

Nowadays, various computer system carries out critical functions. The failure of these
systems leads to unacceptable loss. Such systems are called Safety–Critical Systems (SCS) …

Two stage open queuing networks are used for modeling the subsystem-behaviour in
computers and communication networks, mass storage devices, memory servers, and …

This work focuses over the performability analysis of a multi-server retrial queueing model
with phase-type inter-retrial times in cellular networks. It is considered that the pattern of the …

Abstract A Markovian Agent Model (MAM) is an agent-based spatio-temporal analytical
formalism aimed to model a collection of interacting entities, called Markovian Agents (MA) …

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) where sensors are used to couple the physical
infrastructure with information and communication technologies is the main concept …

In this paper, two types of reliability studies, static and dynamic, are presented using a
recently developed dynamic reliability analysis method–smart component method (SCM) …
