Performance modeling using Queueing Petri Nets

Abstract

In this paper, a performance model is used for studying distributed web systems (an J2EE web application with Oracle backenddatabase). Performance evaluation is done by obtaining load test measurements. Queueing Petri Nets (QPN) formalism supports modeling and performance analysis of distributed World Wide Web environments. The proposed distributed web systems modeling and design methodology has been applied for evaluation of several system architectures under different external loads. Experimental analysis is based on benchmark with realistic workload. Furthermore, performance analysis is done to determine the system response time.
