Nabil El Akchioui, Souâd Choukrad . Approximations of Stochastic Nets by Mean of Continuous Petri Nets. International Journal of Computer Applications. 155, 4 ( Dec 2016), 26-31. DOI=10.5120/ijca2016912292
Reliability analysis is often based on stochastic discrete event models like Markov models or stochastic Petri nets. For complex dynamical systems with numerous components, analytical expressions of the steady state are tedious to work out because of the combinatory explosion with discrete models. The contribution of this paper is to approximate the steady state of mono T-semiflow stochastic nets by mean of continuous Petri nets according to a modification of the maximal firing speed vector definition. This result is then used to accelerate convergence of stochastic simulations.
