Abstract

An Extended Stochastic Petri Net (ESPN) model, useful for modeling systems which exhibit concurrent, asynchronous, or nondeterministic behavior is developed. Applications demonstrating the flexibility of the model for a variety of system modeling applications are presented. Analytic techniques for the representation of a class of ESPNs as Markov or semi-Markov processes are discussed.
