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. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Computer Science,$x0302-9743 ;$v2428 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aComputer logic 606 $aComputer system failures 606 $aComputers 606 $aMathematical statistics 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aSoftware Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14029 606 $aLogics and Meanings of Programs$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I1603X 606 $aSystem Performance and Evaluation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13049 606 $aComputation by Abstract Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16013 606 $aProbability and Statistics in Computer Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17036 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aComputer logic. 615 0$aComputer system failures. 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aMathematical statistics. 615 14$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering. 615 24$aLogics and Meanings of Programs. 615 24$aSystem Performance and Evaluation. 615 24$aComputation by Abstract Devices. 615 24$aProbability and Statistics in Computer Science. 676 $a519.2/33 700 $aHermanns$b Holger$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0555144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466355203316 996 $aInteractive Markov chains$9983147 997 $aUNISA
