We propose new techniques to simplify the computation of the cycle times and the absorption times for a large class of PEPA models. These techniques allow us to simplify the model ...
Modelling and analysing distributed and mobile software systems is a challenging task. PEPA nets—coloured stochastic Petri nets—are a recently introduced modelling formalism w...
Abstract. We present an application of partial evaluation to performance models expressed in the PEPA stochastic process algebra [1]. We partially evaluate the state-space of a PEP...

In this paper we present a novel performance analysis technique for large-scale systems modelled in the stochastic process algebra PEPA. In contrast to the well-known approach of ...
We define a mechanism for specifying performance queries which combine instantaneous observations of model states and finite sequences of observations of model activities. We reali...
