This monograph is devoted to compositional specification and analysis of Markov chains. Based on principles known from process algebra, the author systematically develops an algebra of interactive Markov chains. By presenting a number of distinguishing results, of both theoretical and practical nature, the author substantiates the claim that interactive Markov chains are more than just another formalism: Among other, an algebraic theory of interactive Markov chains is developed, devise algorithms to mechanize compositional aggregation are presented, and state spaces of several million states resulting from the study of an ordinary telefone system are analyzed.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;2428ProbabilitiesSoftware engineeringComputer logicComputer system failuresComputersMathematical statisticsProbability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Software Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14029Logics and Meanings of Programshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I1603XSystem Performance and Evaluationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13049Computation by Abstract Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16013Probability and Statistics in Computer Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17036Probabilities.Software engineering.Computer logic.Computer system failures.Computers.Mathematical statistics.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Software Engineering.Logics and Meanings of Programs.System Performance and Evaluation.Computation by Abstract Devices.Probability and Statistics in Computer Science.519.2/33Hermanns Holgerauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut555144MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910768449803321Interactive Markov chains983147UNINA
