Ricardo M. Czekster's webpage

Welcome! I have been working for the past years on the general topic of systems modelling and quantitative impact on dependability, i.e., availability, reliability, maintenance, performance, safety and security (plus confidentiality, integrity and non repudiation).

I am currently working at Newcastle University as a Research Associate with Dr Charles Morisset.
We are interested in working with modelling and simulation of security issues arising in smart infrastructures.

You will find on the following links some of my research interests, programming code snippets, questions about science, a few projects I was involved, selected publications, my PhD thesis, some software and my scientific and professional links.

Research

Non-Functional Properties (NFP) of Systems

Areas of interest: Dependability, Security, Performance, Fault-tolerance, Usability

Quantitative Performance Evaluation of Systems

Modelling & Simulation (M&S)

Abstractions, mapping, parametrisation
Accreditation, multiple scenario "what-if" analysis, statistical analysis

Analytic Modelling

Markov processes
Structured Markov Chains

Monitoring

Instrumentation and impact on performance
New approaches, techniques and methods

Focus

Security and impact on performance
Incident simulation in Smart infrastructures
