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.

Book Lectures on Formal Methods and Performance Analysis

Download or read book Lectures on Formal Methods and Performance Analysis written by Ed Brinksma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, models and methods for the analysis of the functional correctness of reactive systems, and those for the analysis of their performance (and - pendability) aspects, have been studied by di?erent research communities. This has resulted in the development of successful, but distinct and largely unrelated modeling and analysis techniques for both domains. In many modern systems, however, the di?erence between their functional features and their performance properties has become blurred, as relevant functionalities become inextricably linked to performance aspects, e.g. isochronous data transfer for live video tra- mission. During the last decade, this trend has motivated an increased interest in c- bining insights and results from the ?eld of formal methods – traditionally - cused on functionality – with techniques for performance modeling and analysis. Prominent examples of this cross-fertilization are extensions of process algebra and Petri nets that allow for the automatic generation of performance models, the use of formal proof techniques to assess the correctness of randomized - gorithms, and extensions of model checking techniques to analyze performance requirements automatically. We believe that these developments markthe - ginning of a new paradigm for the modeling and analysis of systems in which qualitative and quantitative aspects are studied from an integrated perspective. We are convinced that the further worktowards the realization of this goal will be a growing source of inspiration and progress for both communities.

Book Stochastic Petri Nets for Wireless Networks

Download or read book Stochastic Petri Nets for Wireless Networks written by Lei Lei and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief presents research in the application of Stochastic Petri Nets (SPN) to the performance evaluation of wireless networks under bursty traffic. It covers typical Quality-of-Service performance metrics such as mean throughput, average delay and packet dropping probability. Along with an introduction of SPN basics, the authors introduce the key motivation and challenges of using SPN to analyze the resource sharing performance in wireless networks. The authors explain two powerful modeling techniques that treat the well-known state space explosion problem: model decomposition and iteration, and model aggregation using stochastic high-level petri nets. The first technique assists in performance analysis of opportunistic scheduling, Device-to-Device communications with full frequency reuse and partial frequency reuse. The second technique is used to formulate a wireless channel mode for cross-layer performance analysis in OFDM system. Stochastic Petri Nets for Wireless Networks reveals useful insights for the design of radio resource management algorithms and a new line of thinking for the performance evaluation of future wireless networks. This material is valuable as a reference for researchers and professionals working in wireless networks and for advanced-level students studying wireless technologies in electrical engineering or computer science.

Book Stochastic Petri Nets

Download or read book Stochastic Petri Nets written by Falko Bause and published by Vieweg+teubner Verlag. This book was released on 1996 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any engineer who is responsible for the design and development of discrete systems, such as embedded software for control or telecommunication systems, knows that the most important quality of the final product is that it be functionally correct. Once assured that the system behaves correctly, it is also important that it be efficient in that its running cost is minimal or is optimum in whatever quanititive measure is chosen. Stochastic Petri nets have been developes over the last decade with exactly these objectives in mind.This book is an introduction to Stochastic Petri nets and arose out of a desire by the authors to collect all one needs to understand Stochastic Petri net theory in one volume. The intention of this book is not to give an overview of several or all Stochastic Petri net models appearing in the literature, but to stress a combined view of functional and performance analysis in the context of some Stochastic Petri net models.The book contains a reference to several Stochastic Petri net tools which are available to help the reader apply the theory contained in this volume.USP: Für sicher funktionierende DV-Systeme

Book Performance Evaluation of Stochastic Timed Decision Free Petri Nets

Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Stochastic Timed Decision Free Petri Nets written by Richard Paul Wiley and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of low-cost processors has made the construction of highly complex, decentralized systems feasible. These systems are usually divided into interacting components which operate concurrency and coordinate their operations by using an asynchronous protocol. Petri Nets have frequently been used to model such systems they can model concurrency and asynchronous protocols. Specific examples of systems models by Petri Nets include computer systems communication protocols and manufacturing systems. This paper shows how the performance of a simple subclass of STNPs, that of Stochastic Timed Decision-Free Petri Nets (STDFPNs), can be predicted. This subclass can model concurrency and coordination, but not decisions, and have been used to model certain manufacturing systems. The major contribution is a new analysis technique which uses a set of equations that describe the behavior of that system. The resulting algorithms are computationally more attractive and the general approach can be extended to study less restrictive classes of SRPNs. This paper examines three related processes which describe firing times, relative firing times, and intertransition times. The first process introduces the new analytical technique, the second one provides convergence proof, and the third one allows performance measures of interest to be computed.
