✦ Synopsis

Queueing Petri nets are a powerful formalism that can be exploited for modeling distributed systems and evaluating their performance and scalability. By combining the modeling power and expressiveness of queueing networks and stochastic Petri nets, queueing Petri nets provide a number of advantages. This tutorial presents an introduction to queueing Petri nets first introducing the modeling formalism itself and then summarizing the results of several modeling case studies which demonstrate how queueing Petri nets can be used for performance modeling and analysis. As part of the tutorial, we present QPME (Queueing Petri net Modeling Environment), an open-source tool for stochastic modeling and analysis of systems using queueing Petri nets. Finally, we briefly present a model-to-model transformation automatically generating a queueing Petri net model from a higher-level software architecture model annotated with performance relevant information.
