In this paper, we propose an approach to analyze the resilience of structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems under failures. The approach is Markov-chain based, and can be applied to systems with relatively stable size and uniform distribution of nodes. We apply our approach to several well-known structured P2P systems. We find that different system features (types of neighbors of nodes) in P2P sys...

The Bernoulli Process (BP) fails to represent the properties of aggregated correlated and bursty ...

In many processes in real practice at the start-up stages the process parameters are not known a priori and there are no initial samples or data for executing Phase I monitoring and estimating the process parameters. In addition, the practitioners are interested in using one control chart instead of two or more for monitoring location and variability of processes. In this paper, we consider a s...

In the manufacture of metal fasteners in a progressive die operation, and other industrial situations, important quality dimensions cannot be measured on a continuous scale, and parts are classified into groups using a step gauge. This article proposes a version of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts applicable to monitoring the grouped data for process shifts. The run l...

This paper examines the Bernoulli admission control policy for the two phase bulk arrival retrial queueing system wherein the customers has the option either to take second phase of service or to leave the system after completing first essential phase of service. In addition, the arrival rate of the customers depends upon the server status. After the service completion of each individual custom...

Queueing network models have proven to be very useful in the analysis of communication systems. The departure process of a queue in a queueing network is of special interest because it is the arrival process to other queues in the network. For high speed networks, correlation and burstiness are very important factors for system performance and thus the smooth Bernoulli process is no longer a go...

A simple algorithm is introduced for computing the run length distribution of a monitoring scheme combining a Shewhart chart with an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average control chart. The algorithm is based on the numerical approximation of the integral equations and integral recurrence relations related to the run-length distribution. In particular, a modified Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature rule...

The accuracy of the measurement system is vital for reliable process monitoring using statistical control charts. applied chart’s effectiveness depends on system's performance. Measurement uncertainty can lead to incorrect decisions like unnecessary stops or failure intervene. In this paper, we investigated effect errors performance four well-established combined charts mean normally distribute...

Control charts for monitoring of process variance are developed based on Shewhart, exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts for mean. In all these variance control charts, log transformation of the sample variance is used. The design procedure of this chart is complex and it is poorly understood by the industry. In this paper a EWMA chart for monito...

Clusters of nosocomial infection often occur undetected, at substantial cost to the medical system and individual patients. We evaluated binary cumulative sum (CUSUM) and moving average (MA) control charts for automated detection of nosocomial clusters. We selected two outbreaks with genotyped strains and used resistance as inputs to the control charts. We identified design parameters for the C...
