Performance Modeling and Evaluation of Distributed Component-Based Systems Using Queueing Petri Nets

Performance models are used increasingly throughout the phases of the software engineering lifecycle of distributed component-based systems. However, as systems grow in size and complexity, building models that accurately capture the different aspects of their behavior becomes a more and more challenging task. In this paper, we present a novel case study of a realistic distributed component-based system, showing how Queueing Petri Net models can be exploited as a powerful performance prediction tool in the software engineering process. A detailed system model is built in a step-by-step fashion, validated, and then used to evaluate the system performance and scalability. Along with the case study, a practical performance modeling methodology is presented which helps to construct models that accurately reflect the system performance and scalability characteristics. Taking advantage of the modeling power and expressiveness of Queueing Petri Nets, our approach makes it possible to model the system at a higher degree of accuracy, providing a number of important benefits.     

Performance Analysis of Retrial Queueing Systems Using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets

We consider retrial queueing systems, in which an arriving customer finding the server busy, may repeat his call after a random duration. The consideration of repeated calls introduces great analytical difficulties. In fact, detailed analytical results exist for some special retrial queueing systems, while for many others, the performance evaluation is limited to numerical algorithms, approximation methods and simulation. Retrial queues have been widely used to model many problems in telephone switching systems, telecommunication and computer networks. In this paper, we show a method of modelling and analysing retrial queueing systems, using the Generalized Stochastic Petri nets (GSPNs).     

Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time Cooperative Systems Using Petri Nets

The existing formal techniques are not suitable for elegantly modeling passing value indeterminacy and describing batch processing function in real-time cooperative systems. Moreover, the correct behavior of the systems depends on not only the logical correctness of the results obtained through running workflows but also the time of producing them before critical deadlines. For these purposes, this paper proposes an interorganizational logical workflow net (ILWN) for modeling and analyzing real-time cooperative systems based on time Petri nets, workflow techniques, and temporal logic. Through attaching logical expressions to some actions of an ILWN model, the size of the model is reduced. Thus, ILWNs can efficiently mitigate the state explosion problem to some extent. Also, this paper analyzes the soundness of a subclass of ILWNs: the or-restricted ILWNs. A rigorous analysis approach is given based on their static net structures only. The concepts and techniques proposed in this paper are illustrated with a seller-buyer example in electronic commerce.

Modeling and Analysis of Workflows Using Petri Nets

A workflow system, in its general form, is basically a heterogeneous and distributed information system where the tasks are performed using autonomous systems. Resources, such as databases, labor, etc. are typically required to process these tasks. Prerequisite to the execution of a task is a set of constraints that reflect the applicable business rules and user requirements.In this paper we present a Petri Net (PN) based framework that (1) facilitates specification of workflow applications, (2) serves as a powerful tool for modeling the system under study at a conceptual level, (3) allows for a smooth transition from the conceptual level to a testbed implementation and (4) enables the analysis, simulation and validation of the system under study before proceeding to implementation. Specifically, we consider three categories of task dependencies: control flow, value and external (temporal).We identify several structural properties of PN and demonstrate their use for conducting the following type of analyses: (1) identify inconsistent dependency specifications among tasks; (2) test for workflow safety, i.e. test whether the workflow terminates in an acceptable state; (3) for a given starting time, test whether it is feasible to execute a workflow with the specified temporal constraints. We also provide an implementation for conducting the above analyses.     

Performance Evaluation of Asynchronous Concurrent Systems Using Petri Nets

Some analysis techniques for real-time asynchronous concurrent systems are presented. In order to model clearly the synchronization involved in these systems, an extended timed Petri net model is used. The system to be studied is first modeled by a Petri net. Based on the Petri net model, a system is classified into either: 1) a consistent system; or 2) an inconsistent system. Most real-world systems fall into the first class which is further subclassified into i) decision-free systems; ii) safe persistent systems; and iii) general systems. Procedures for predicting and verifying the system performance of all three types are presented. It is found that the computational complexity involved increases in the same order as they are listed above.

Hybrid Petri Nets for Modeling and Analysis of Microgrid Systems

Hybrid Petri nets (HPNs) are widely used to describe and analyze various industrial hybrid systems that have both discrete-event and continuous discrete-time behaviors. Recently, many researchers attempt to utilize them to characterize power and energy systems. This work proposes to adopt an HPN to model and analyze a microgrid that consists of green energy sources. A reachability graph for such a model is generated and used to analyze the system properties.      

Modeling Multithreaded Applications Using Petri Nets

Since most modern computing systems contain multiple processing elements, applications are relying on multithreaded programming techniques that allow a program to execute multiple tasks concurrently to take advantage of the processing capabilities. Multithreaded programs are more difficult to design and test because of the nondeterministic execution orders and synchronization among the threads. Different approaches can be used to test Multithreaded Applications. In our approach we use Petri nets to represent the key elements of interactions among threads to identify potential problems such as race conditions, lost signals, and deadlocks. A tool called C2Petri has been developed which converts C-Pthreads programs to the equivalent Petri net model. This tool helps verification of Pthread-based programs. At present the tool has limited capabilities and we hope to expand the capabilities of our tool in the near future.
