MRGP-based Measurement for Availability of Pervasive Computation System

With the vision of anytime anywhere computation, the availability measurement is playing an important role in pervasive computation. In the perspective of quantitative analysis, this paper presents an MRGP-based approach to address the user associated availability measurement of pervasive computation system. A bidirectional extended user model is developed for describing user behaviors. An MRGP model is established, and a stochastic process-based analysis is conducted. The transient and steady availability are provided for this model, and a novel availability metric, called request availability, is suggested. Numerical analysis is carried out and the results argue that the approach and availability metric can give reasonable evaluation for pervasive computation system.
