In a homogeneous finite-state Markov process, we consider the occupation times, that is, the
times spent by the process in given subsets of the state space during a finite interval of time …

Point availability and expected interval availability are dependability measures respectively
defined by the probability that a system is in operation at a given instant and by the mean …

Interval availability, defined as the fraction of time that a system is operational during a
period of time [0, T], is an important indicator of system performance, especially for industries …

In this paper we analyze the interval availability of a two-echelon, multi-item spare part
inventory system. We consider a scenario inspired by a situation that we encountered at …

Les chaînes de Markov sont des modèles probabilistes utilisés dans des domaines variés
comme la logistique, l'informatique, la fiabilité, les télécommunications, ou encore la …

SLAs are common means to define specifications and requirements of cloud computing
services in business relationships. The terms that define the guaranteed availability for a …

Abstract A Service Level Agreement (SLA) describes the service, the service-level objectives
(SLOs), the price the customer should pay and the compensation if the SLOs are not met …

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are used to define obligations between network/service
providers and customers in business relationships. The terms that define the guaranteed …

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are a common means to define the obligations of

Fault-tolerant systems are often modeled using (homogeneous) continuous time Markov
chains (CTMCs). Computation of the distribution of the interval availability, ie of the …
