Abstract: Estimating the response time is a necessary prerequisite to real-time applications that do have strict timing constraints. With the timed Petri net representing a real-time task, the authors propose a method of making the estimation of the response time easy when the goal of the estimation is to obtain a probability of meeting the given specified time (or deadline). It is a hierarchical approach based on the dynamic behavior of each subnet, by which a complex timed Petri net is converted into a simple one.
Keywords: performance evaluation; response time estimation; hierarchical approach.
