A Unified Tool for Performance Modelling and Prediction

چکیده

We describe a novel performability modelling approach which facilitates the efficient solution of performance models extracted from high-level descriptions of systems. The notation which we use for our high-level designs is the UML graphical modelling language. The technology which provides the efficient representation capability for the underlying performance model is the MTBDD-based PRISM probabilistic model checker. The UML models are compiled through an intermediate language, the stochastic process algebra PEPA, before translation into MTBDDs for solution. We illustrate our approach on a real-world analysis problem from the domain of mobile telephony.

Functional-Coefficient Autoregressive Model and its Application for Prediction of the Iranian Heavy Crude Oil Price

Time series and their methods of analysis are important subjects in statistics. Most of time series have a linear behavior and can be modelled by linear ARIMA models. However, some of realized time series have a nonlinear behavior and for modelling them one needs nonlinear models. For this, many good parametric nonlinear models such as bilinear model, exponential autoregressive model, threshold...

Prediction of Deformation of Circular Plates Subjected to Impulsive Loading Using GMDH-type Neural Network

In this paper, experimental responses of the clamped mild steel, copper, and aluminium circular plates are presented subjected to blast loading. The GMDH-type neural networks (Group Method of Data Handling) are then used for the modelling of the mid-point deflection thickness ratio of the circular plates using those experimental results. The aim of such modelling is to show how the mid-point de...
