- W89687488 abstract "Many computing systems consist of a possibly huge number of components that not only work independently but also communicate with each other. The catastrophic consequences of failures, such as loss of human lives, environmental damages, and financial losses, in many of these critical systems compel computer scientists and engineers to develop techniques for ensuring that these systems are implemented correctly despite of their complexity. Although a number of theories and software tools have been developed to support the formal description and verification of functional properties of systems, only in recent years the formal modeling and assessment of performance characteristics have received attention. This thesis addresses the problem of providing a suitable linguistic support which enables designers to formally describe and evaluate system performance in the early stages of system design, in order to avoid cost increases due to the late discovery of inefficiency. A reasonable solution should constitute a first step towards a methodology for the specification and analysis of computer, communication and software systems that achieves a reasonable balance among formality, expressivity, usability and efficiency. As a solution to the problem above, in this thesis we propose an integrated approach to modeling and analyzing functional and performance characteristics of systems which relies on formal description techniques extended with a stochastic representation of time. Such an approach, inspired by Olderog’s work on relating different views of concurrent systems, is based on both stochastically timed process algebras and stochastically timed Petri nets in order to profit from their complementary advantages: compositional modeling/manipulation capabilities and structural analysis techniques based on an explicit description of concurrency. In order to develop the integrated approach in the Markovian case, in this thesis we propose a new stochastically timed process algebra called EMPA (Extended Markovian Process Algebra), inspired by Herzog’s TIPP and Hillston’s PEPA, which has a considerable expressive power, as it allows for the description of not only exponentially timed activities but also immediate activities, priority and probability related features, and nondeterminism, and is based on an intuitive master-slaves synchronization mechanism, which allows more complex synchronization mechanisms to be simulated. In order to support the various phases and analyses of the integrated approach, EMPA is equipped with a suitable collection of semantics, mapping terms to integrated transition systems and their projections (functional transition systems and continuous/discrete time Markov chains) and generalized stochastic Petri nets by Ajmone Marsan-Balbo et al., respectively, as well as a notion of integrated equivalence, relating terms describing systems with the same functional and performance properties." @default.
