Third Conference on Smart Spaces, ruSMART 2010, and 10th International Conference, NEW2AN 2010}, abstract = {Modelling with use of Markov chains is difficult from computational point of view, because of a rapid increase in the number of states occurring even when there is only a slight increase in the model{\textquoteright}s scale. However, thanks to the appropriate description of the model the number of states can be significantly reduced. This paper discusses a synchronous slotted-ring network with optical packet switching modelled by means of markovian chains with continuous time. Simplifying the description has made it possible to significantly reduce the model{\textquoteright}s dimension without significantly diminishing the results{\textquoteright} accuracy.}, year = {2010}, journal = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, volume = {6294}, chapter = {Reducing the Number of States for Markovian Model of Optical Slotted Ring Network}, month = {8}, publisher = {Springer Berlin / Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-642-14890-3}, note = {10.1007/978-3-642-14891-0\_21}, language = {eng}, }
