Petri-Net Simulations of Communications Networks.

Abstract

Current technologies in the fields of telecommunications and computer processing are becoming increasingly integrated to the extent that 'distributed' computer networks are assuming key roles in communications. The complex computerized systems necessary to support modern military command and control requirements are expensive. Designing such systems by trial and error is not feasible, yet no other viable alternatives exist. This thesis offers an original methodology for evaluating the predicted performance of military automated systems. Using Petri-Nets as a modeling tool, computer simulations with color graphics output are performed to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach as a systems design tool. (Author)
