Provides a clear and systematic introduction to the use of stochastic Petri nets in communications systems engineering and the analysis techniques and algorithms used in performance evaluation.
The field of communication systems is full of complex design questions concerning performance and reliability. Since data traffic and errors occur in a random fashion, stochastic models are used for developing and comparing systems. In particular, stochastic Petri nets have become a popular tool for the description and automatic evaluation of such models. The use of non-Markovian models has...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International GI/ITG Conference on Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems, MMB 2018, held in Erlangen, Germany, in February 2018. The 16 full papers, 4 PhD track papers, and 9 tool papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions.
