Symmetric Stochastic Petri Nets.
Abstract
A stochastic Petri net (SPN) provides a means for formal specification of a discrete event simulation. This document focuses on SPN's with special structure and define a symmetric SPN. Exploiting properties of a symmetric SPN and underlying regenerative process structure, the authors establish steady state estimation procedures based on independent, nonidentically distributed blocks. These results lead to efficient simulation methods for delay/throughput characteristics of ring networks. Additional keywords: statistical efficiency; estimates. (Author)
