Abstract: In this monograph, the performance of computer systems is evaluated by means of timed Petri nets. For this purpose, the foundations of deterministic Petri nets are developed. The main sequential process cooperation facilities, such as mutual exclusion, communication by synchronizing a sender and a receiver, and communication by buffers, are studied and an evaluation of their performance is carried out using Petri nets. With regard to structural and functional complexity of computer systems, the main point is the computational complexity of performance evaluation problems. For systems of sequential processes with the above cooperation facilities, properties that are critical for computational complexity are found.

Keywords: performance evaluation, complexity (of); complexity, structural (and) functional.
