Periodic recurrence is a prominent behavioural of many biological phenomena, including cell cycle and circadian rhythms. Although deterministic models are commonly used to represent the dynamics of periodic ph...

Time-bounded reachability problems are concerned with assessing whether a model’s trajectories traverse a given region of the state-space within given time-bounds. In the case of stochastic models reachability...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Density dependent Markov chains (DDMCs) describe the interaction of groups of identical objects. In case of large numbers of objects a DDMC can be approximated efficiently by means of either a set of ordinary ...

The Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway plays an important role in the proliferation of neural cells, and hence it is the main focus of several research aimed at understanding neurodegenerative pathologies. In this ...

In many situations an agent’s behaviour can sensibly be described only in terms of a distribution of probability over a set of possibilities. In such case (agents’) decision-making becomes probabilistic too. I...

This paper presents a performance and dependability study of a software fault-tolerant memory mechanism, namely the Distributed Memory (DM), which has been developed within a R&D European project. Relying on t...
