| Abstract: | The need for a more accurate modeling of the performance of systems whose functioning mainly dependant on external time parameters such as the number of requests during a particular time phase, led us to a novel approach, taking into account the time parameters involved. This is achieved through the evaluation of a performability indicator modeled by means of a two-phase cyclic nonhomogenous Markov chain considering periodical time-dependant arrival request probabilities and applied to a replicated database system. The computation of the performability indicator modeled by cyclic nonhomogeneous Markov chain requires the use of efficient computational methods by using explicit approximate inverse preconditioning methods. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
