Abstract: A performance analysis method is defined and presented for stochastic timed Petri nets (STPNs). The main result is that the state evolution of a STPN can be viewed in terms of the evolution of another process, the generalized firing process. The performance of the first process can be studied by analyzing the performance of the second. The time-related performance measures for the generalized firing process are obtained by deriving state equations and using these equations to iteratively calculate the steady-state probability distribution.

Keywords: performance analysis (of) stochastic timed net; generalized firing process; steady-state probability distribution; state equation.
