Specifying Performance Measures for PEPA
Stochastic process algebras such as PEPA provide ample support for the component-based construction of models. Tools compute the numerical solution of these models; however, the st...

Software performance modelling using PEPA nets
Modelling and analysing distributed and mobile software systems is a challenging task. PEPA nets—coloured stochastic Petri nets—are a recently introduced modelling formalism w...

State-Aware Performance Analysis with eXtended Stochastic Probes
We define a mechanism for specifying performance queries which combine instantaneous observations of model states and finite sequences of observations of model activities. We reali...

Amalgamation of Transition Sequences in the PEPA Formalism
This report presents a formal approach to reducing sequences in PEPA components. Performing the described amalgamation procedure we may remove, from the underlying Markov chain, t...

How Synchronisation Strategy Approximation in PEPA Implementations Affects Passage Time Performance Results
Passage time densities are useful performance measurements in stochastic systems. With them the modeller can extract probabilistic quality-of-service guarantees such as: the proba...
