Predictive Aircraft Maintenance: Modeling and Analysis Using Stochastic Petri Nets

Predictive aircraft maintenance is a complex process, which requires the modeling of the stochastic degradation of aircraft systems, as well as the dynamic interactions between the stakeholders involved. In this paper, we show that the stochastically and dynamically colored Petri nets (SDCPNs) are able to formalize the predictive aircraft...

Peer-to-Peer System Design: A Socioeconomic approach

It has gradually become clear that Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems should not be conceived in the manner of conventional computing systems. Consequently, over the years, ideas from social science in general and economics in particular have made their way to P2P systems to deal with the novel challenges that such systems throw up. In Chapter 2 of this...
