In particular, linear programming problems defined on the incidence matrix of underlying Petri net are used to compute bounds for the throughput of transitions for live and bounded nets with a unique possibility of steady-state behavior. These classes of nets are defined and their characteristics are studied. The bounds proposed here depend on the initial marking and the mean values of the delays but not on the probability distributions (thus including both the deterministic and the stochastic cases); moreover they can be also computed for non-ergodic models. Connections between results and techniques typical of qualitative and quantitative analysis of Petri models are stressed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models, PNPM89","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124562064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors show that such bounds can be improved if additional information about other subnets is available. They extend the technique and outline an algorithm to compute the bounds for error due to aggregation and decomposition at the GSPN level.

A set of synthesis rules was developed for incrementally generating new processes without incurring logical incorrectness. The authors develop an algorithm to detect rule violations and to update the T-matrix. The complexity of the algorithm is polynomial and O(N/sup 3/), where N is the total number of pseudo-processes when the final system design is completed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models, PNPM89","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116945523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among its salient features are that there is a firing interval associated with each transition, the probability density function is distributed over the firing interval, and any kind of probability density function can be considered. This model allows a qualitative analysis (considering time constraints) and a quantitative analysis. Particular consideration is given to the modeling of a one-way data transfer protocol (such as the one used in the class 0 transport protocol). This protocol, the Petri net model of which has an unbounded reachability tree, cannot be analyzed with any of the different types of stochastic Petri nets because these models are based on an underlying PN model, the reachability tree of which must be bounded.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models, PNPM89","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129490183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A CPN model can be used for a qualitative analysis of the modeled system; when timing is also added, a quantitative analysis can be done. Unfortunately, the analysis can be prevented by excessive size of the reachability graph (RG) of the net, which can grow exponentially as a function of the number of places and the cardinality of color domains. A method that automatically exploits the symmetries intrinsic in the model reducing the RG size is presented: it can be applied to a subclass of CPNs called regular nets (RN). Some nontrivial examples are presented to demonstrate that the automatically achieved reductions are comparable to those devised for these systems by thoroughly studying their behavior.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":366060,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models, PNPM89","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125556615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
