Scope and Topics of Interest

The 1997 Workshop on Petri Nets and Performance Models (PNPM) is being held together with the 1997 International Conference on Techniques and Tools for Performance Evaluation.

The objective of the PNPM workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation of original contributions in the areas of Timed and Stochastic Petri Nets and their applications in the design and performance evaluation of systems.

A topic of particular interest is the relation between net structural properties, validation of time-critical systems, and performance and dependability evaluation of distributed asynchronous systems.

Analysis algorithms and methodologies, as well as their application to the analysis of models of large, complex distributed systems are also well in the scope of the workshop.

Both theoretical and practical contributions are sought, with special emphasis on modeling and computer supported analysis aspects. Work in progress and poster sessions may be organized in addition to regular sessions.
