Abstract:The stochastic Petri net modeling technique can be used in many different ways. It allows the simple design for complex system models, that typically are very costly to solve due to their state space explosion problem. However, refinement of models can be used to develop compact models, which reveal the independence and interdependent relations of submodels in the original models and can be solved by decomposition technique. In this paper, the author uses a multiserver multiqueue system model as an example to show how the refinement of a stochastic Petri net model can be developed by applying the description of enabling predicates and random switches of transitions. In addition, the routing and selecting schemes for multiserver multiqueue systems are discussed and the stochastic Petri net models for those schemes are provided.
