Operational GSPN Semantics of MPA
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this technical report we define an operational net semantics for the stochastic process algebra MPA based on generalized stochastic Petri nets. As a consequence of the definition of such a semantics, we present an interesting modeling technique for concurrent systems which is based on MPA. 1.

Modeling and Analyzing Concurrent Systems with Mpa
Process algebras are one of the main tools for modeling and analyzing concurrent systems. However, they can be used to describe only the functional aspect of system behavior. Recently, the relevance of integrating performance evaluation within the process of speciication, design and implementation of concurrent systems has been widely recognized. Hence, an eeort has been made in order to handle...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Computing Servers using Stochastic Petri Nets and Markov Automata
Generalised Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPNs) are a widely used modeling formalism in the field of performance and dependability analysis. Their semantics and analysis is restricted to “well-defined”, i.e., confusion-free, nets. Recently, a new GSPN semantics has been defined that covers confused nets and for confusion-free nets is equivalent to the existing GSPN semantics. The key is the usage of ...

متن کاملMPA: a Stochastic Process Algebra
Process algebras constitute one of the main tools for modeling and analyzing concurrent systems. Unfortunately, with classical process algebras only the functional aspect of the behavior of concurrent systems can be modeled and analyzed.

متن کاملOne Net Fits All: A unifying semantics of Dynamic Fault Trees using GSPNs
Dynamic Fault Trees (DFTs) are a prominent model in reliability engineering. They are strictly more expressive than static fault trees, but this comes at a price: their interpretation is non-trivial and leaves quite some freedom. This paper presents a GSPN semantics for DFTs. This semantics is rather simple and compositional. The key feature is that this GSPN semantics unifies all existing DFT ...
