A consistent specification of quantitative processing characteristics is of crucial importance in order to obtain an efficient logical and physical database design. In this paper we propose a flow analysis of a Petri net representation of the interaction among operations within an organization function. The result of this analysis is the automt ic derivation of the operation activation frequencies. The project environment to which this analysis is relevant is also described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
