Stochastic spatial rainfall modelling and generation KU Leuven
The stochastic properties of spatial rainfall will be analyzed. This will be done by constructing and applying a conceptual rain storm model to radar data merged with rain gauges for a set of historical events. This application involves the development and testing of a method for rain storm and rain cell tracking in space and time. The rain storm model and tracking method is applied to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of ...
Stochastic modelling and performance analysis of energy efficient protocols for wireless networks Ghent University
This reseacrh project aims at the development of new stochastic models and queueing models for (components of)WiMAX networks and appropriate techniques for the corresponding performance analysis. We envisage the study of queueing models with multiple servers and server vacations in the presence of both uplink and downlink traffic. Moreover we will study queueing systems in tandem in order to model relay nodes. Such performance models are very ...
Robust modelling and optimisation in stochastic processes using impreciseprobabilities, with applications to queueing Ghent University
A process is called stochastic when its time-evolution is to some
extent uncertain. To model and reason with such uncertainty, we
use methods from probability theory. This allows us to analyse the
behaviour of these processes, and to design or influence them in
order to make their behaviour optimal or desirable.
One crucial problem is that most often we are not only uncertain
about the processes themselves, but ...
Stochastic modelling and performance analysis of WiMAX networks Ghent University
This research project aims at the development of new stochastic models and queueing models for (components of) WiMAX networks and appropriate techniques for the corresponding performance analysis. We envisafe the study of queueing models with priority scheduling, multiple servers, server vacations and correlated arrivals. Such performance models are very useful tools for the performance optimization of WiMAX networks.
Stochastic modelling and performance analysis of MAC protocols for wireless networks Ghent University
This research project aims at the construction of adequate stochastic models and queueing models for contention-less MAC protocols and the development of corresponding performance analysis techniques. We envisage the study of queueing models with priority scheduling, multiple servers, server vacations, correlated arrivals and queues in tandem. Performance measures of interest are the packet delay, packet loss ratios and the energy ...
Robust modelling and optimisation of stochastic processes with imprecise probabilities, applied to queueing systems Ghent University
In this project the paradigm of imprecise
probabilities (expertise 1st promotor) is applied to stochastic processes that are usually described by ‘common’, i.e. precise, probability theory. The
targeted application is on processes that occur in queueing systems (expertise of 2nd and 3rd promotor). The new treatment allows us to quantify the belief we can put in results from classic queueing analysis in the presence of ...
Stochastic modelling with applications in financial markets Ghent University
This scientific research network will focus on interdisciplinary research (mathemetics-physics) in the area of stochastic modeling based on the interaction between histiry, numerical computations and applications in financial markets, Hereto the network will make use of the complementary expertise present in the participating research groups.
