Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World renowned leaders in the field provide an accessible introduction to the use of Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPNs) for the performance analysis of diverse distributed systems. Divided into two parts, it begins with a summary of the major results in GSPN theory. The second section is devoted entirely to application examples which demonstrate how GSPN methodology can be used in different arenas. A simple version of the software tool used to analyse GSPN models is included with the book and a concise manual for its use is presented in the later chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by the request for increased productivity, flexibility, and competitiveness, modern civilization increasingly has created high-performance discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs). These systems exhibit concurrent, sequential, competitive activities among their components. They are often complex and large in scale, and necessarily flexible and thus highly capital-intensive. Examples of systems are manufacturing systems, communication networks, traffic and logistic systems, and military command and control systems. Modeling and performance evaluation play a vital role in the design and operation of such high-performance DEDSs and thus have received widespread attention from researchers over the past two decades. One methodology resulting from this effort is based on timed Petri nets and related graphical and mathematical tools. The popularity that Petri nets have been gaining in modeling of DEDSs is due to their powerful representational ability of concurrency and synchronization; however these properties of DEDSs cannot be expressed easily in traditional formalisms developed for analysis of `classical' systems with sequential behaviors. This book introduces the theories and applications of timed Petri nets systematically. Moreover, it also presents many practical applications in addition to theoretical developments, together with the latest research results and industrial applications of timed Petri nets. Timed Petri Nets: Theory and Application is intended for use by researchers and practitioners in the area of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any developer of discrete event systems knows that the most important quality of the final system is that it be functionally correct by exhibiting certain functionaL or qualitative properties decided upon as being important. Once assured that the system behaves correctly, it is also important that it is efficient in that its running cost is minimal or that it executes in optimum time or whatever performance measure is chosen. While functional correctness is taken for granted, the latter quantitative properties will often decide the success, or otherwise, of the system. Ideally the developer must be able to specify, design and implement his system and test it for both functional correctness and performance using only one for malism. No such formalism exists as yet. In recent years the graphical version of the Specification and Description Language (SDL) has become very popular for the specification, design and partial implementation of discrete systems. The ability to test for functional correctness of systems specified in SDL is, however, limited to time consuming simulative executions of the specification and perfor mance analysis is not directly possible. Petri nets, although graphical in format are somewhat tedious for specifying large complex systems but, on the other hand were developed exactly to test discrete, distributed systems for functional correctness. With a Petri net specification one can test, e. g. , for deadlock, live ness and boundedness of the specified system.

Download or read book Petri Nets written by Michel Diaz and published by Iste Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the definition, validation and application of a selected set of Petri nets. It first introduces the basic models including time and stochastic extensions, in particular place-transition and high level Petri nets. Their modeling and design capabilities are illustrated by a set of representations of interest in operating and communication systems. The volume then addresses the related verification problems and proposes corresponding solutions by introducing the main notions needed to fully understand the behavior and properties behind Petri nets. Particular attention is devoted to how systems can be fully represented and analyzed in terms of their behavioral, time and stochastic aspects by using the same formal approach and semantical basis. Finally, illustrative examples are presented in the important fields of interoperability in telecommunication services, programmation languages, multimedia architectures, manufacturing systems and communication protocols.
