Recommendations for Using QPN Formalism for Preparation of Incoming Request Stream Generator in Modeled System

Abstract

Simulation models are elements of science that use software tools to solve complex mathematical problems. They are beneficial in areas such as performance engineering and communications systems. Nevertheless, to achieve more accurate results, researchers should use more detailed models. Having an analysis of the system operations in the early modeling phases could help one make better decisions relating to the solution. In this paper, we introduce the use of the QPME tool, based on queueing Petri nets, to model the system stream generator. This formalism was not considered during the first tool development. As a result of the analysis, an alternative design model is proposed. By comparing the behavior of the proposed generator against the one already developed, a better adjustment of the stream to the customer’s needs was obtained. The study results show that appropriately adjusting queueing Petri net models can help produce better streams of data (tokens).
