A calculus for stochastic QoS analysis and its application to conformance study
… been proposed for QoS provisioning in computer networks. It is important to evaluate the performance of these QoS provisioning schemes. In this thesis, a stochastic network calculus is proposed to systematically investigate the stochastic QoS performance of various deterministic and stochastic …

Moment-linear stochastic systems and their applications
Our work is motivated by the need for tractable stochastic models for complex network and system dynamics. With this motivation in mind, we develop a class of discrete-time Markov models, called moment-linear stochastic systems (MLSS), which are structured so that moments and cross-moments of the …

Barracuda: The power of l-polling in proof of stake blockchains
… the chain of blocks, however in practice, due to network imperfections, the local blockchain of the leader might not be synced entirely, thus resulting in forking, a scenario when a new block is appended in the middle of the blockchain, thus creating a fork. These network imperfections create a …

The effect of rainstorm movement on urban drainage network runoff hydrographs
… movement and runoff hydrographs based on network configuration. This study utilizes a conceptual model based on characteristic timescales to investigate the effects of storm movement on the flood peak flows, and the underlying process controls. A broad theoretical framework is developed …
