Transient and steady-state statistical analysis for discrete event Simulators

Abstract

We extend the model checking tool MultiVeStA with statistical model checking of steady-state properties. Since MultiVeStA acts as a front-end for simulation tools, it confers this ability onto any tool with which it is integrated. The underlying simulation models are treated as black-box systems. We will use an approach based on batch means using the ASAP3 algorithm. We motivate the work using two case studies: a biochemical model written in the Bio-PEPA language and an application from transport logistics.
