Stochastic activity networks: Formal definitions and concepts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Stochastic activity networks have been used since the mid- 1980s for performance, dependability, and performability evaluation. They have been used as a modeling formalism in three modeling tools (METASAN, UltraSAN, and M¨obius), and have been used to evaluate a wide range of systems. This chapter provides the formal definitions and basic concepts associated with SANs, explaining their behavior and their execution policy precisely.
