Motivation of this research blog

This research blog is devoted to the research I perform in the field of stochastic modeling. The latter being the methodology, the topic is optical buffers. Since October 2004, I work and publish on this strongly mathematics-related subject. Main players are: probabilities, Markov chains, generating functions and ergodicity conditions. I am affiliated with SMACS, TELIN, Ghent University, Belgium (see sidebar for links). I work closely together with K. Laevens, D. Fiems and H. Bruneel, all experts in the field of stochastic modeling. Recently, I also joined forces with J. Lambert, B. Van Houdt on a Markov-chain-based approach to optical buffers. Further, I am also involved in a stimulating collaboration with E. Morozov, for work on stability conditions for the case of, you name it, optical buffers.

Since January 2005, I disseminate my research activities through an academic page. The scope of this (additional) platform is to have an online spot that I can edit and update in an easy way. It serves to broadcast an online list of my publications, but also comes at hand for commenting on research in general.

All comment welcome!
