This paper deals with determining the capacity supply for virtualized servers. First, a server is modeled as a queue based on a Markov chain. Then, the effect of server virtualization on the capacity supply will be analyzed with the distribution function of the server load.

This paper studies the statistical features of the wind at Oran (Algeria). The data used are the wind speed and wind direction measurements collected every 3 h at the meteorological station of Es Senia (Oran), during the 1982/92 period. The eight directions of the compass card have been...

Use of wind speed data is of great importance in civil engineering, especially in structural and coastal engineering applications. Synthetic data generation techniques are used in practice for cases where long wind speed data are required. In this study, a new wind speed data generation scheme...

We present new results for the likelihood-based analysis of the dynamic factor model that possibly includes intercepts and explanatory variables. The latent factors are modelled by stochastic processes. The idiosyncratic disturbances are specified as autoregressive processes with mutually...
