It is discussed by the use of simulations how the self-similar nature emerges in the computer network traffic. We propose a new model which incorporates the realistic communication procedure. In this model, the self-similarity is partially realized depending on the maximum data length and not on...

One of the main challenges facing biology today is the understanding of the joint action of genes, proteins and RNA molecules, interwoven in intricate interdependencies commonly known as genetic networks. To this end, several mathematical approaches have been introduced to date. In addition to...

Queueing theory has been recently proposed as a framework to model the heavy tailed statistics of human activity patterns. The main predictions are the existence of a power-law distribution for the interevent time of human actions and two decay exponents α=1 and α=3/2. Current models lack,...
