Article
The logic PML is a probabilistic version of Hennessy–Milner logic introduced by Larsen and Skou to characterize bisimilarity over probabilistic processes without internal nondeterminism. In this paper, two alt...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Testing equivalences have been deeply investigated on fully nondeterministic processes, as well as on processes featuring probabilities and internal nondeterminism. This is not the case with reactive probabili...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We provide two interpretations, over nondeterministic and probabilistic processes, of PML, the probabilistic version of Hennessy-Milner logic used by Larsen and Skou to characterize bisimilarity of probabilist...

Chapter and Conference Paper
We provide a unifying view of timed models such as timed automata, probabilistic timed automata, and Markov automata. The timed models and their bisimulation semantics are encoded in the framework of uniform l...

Chapter and Conference Paper
The Markovian behavioral equivalences defined so far treat exponentially timed internal actions like any other action. Since an exponentially timed internal action has a nonzero duration, it can be observed wh...
Chapter and Conference Paper
One of the most studied extensions of testing theory to nondeterministic and probabilistic processes yields unrealistic probabilities estimations that give rise to two anomalies. First, probabilistic testing e...

Chapter and Conference Paper
An integral part of the performance modeling process is the specification of the performability measures of interest. The notations proposed for this purpose can be grouped into classes that differ from each o...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We present the implementation of a methodology for the modeling, analysis, and comparison of software architectures based on their performance characteristics. The implementation is part of a software tool tha...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Rate transition systems (RTS) are a special kind of transition systems introduced for defining the stochastic behavior of processes and for associating continuous-time Markov chains with process terms. The tra...
Chapter
Process algebra is a formal tool for the specification and the verification of concurrent and distributed systems. It supports compositional modeling through a set of operators able to express concepts like se...
Chapter
Timing aspects of concurrent and distributed systems can be expressed not only deterministically, but also probabilistically, which is particularly appropriate for shared-resource systems. When these aspects a...
