Protocol performance analysis using a timed extension for an object oriented Petri net language

Abstract

In this paper we propose a timed extension for RPOO, a Petri-net based object-oriented modeling language. The timing strategy of the proposed extension, called RPOOt, is based on the timing strategy from the Timed Coloured Petri nets formalism. A simple stop-and-wait protocol RPOO model was developed in order to demostrate the proposed extension. We also show some performance measures for the model. RPOOt showed to be easily integrated with Timed Coloured Petri Nets, providing means for modeling time consuming activities inside objects as well as among objects. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
