Modelling with Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets

Basic graph models of processes, such as Petri nets, have usually omitted the concept of time as a parameter. Time has been added to the Petri net model in two ways. The timed Petri net (TPN) uses a fixed number of discrete time intervals. The ...

The class of Petri nets obtained by eliminating timing from generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) models while preserving the qualitative behavior is identified. Structural results for those nets are derived, obtaining the first structural analysis of ...

In this paper we survey the Petri net literature and focus on Petri nets with generally distributed transition firing times. In the framework of Markov regenerative stochastic Petri nets (MRSPN) we develop and solve two examples to illustrate the ...
