Abstract

The design of parallel and distributed systems requires considering both functional and performance specifications and properties. The use of a single family of models to deal with both aspects, plus appropriate analysis techniques, are very important in practice. Petri Nets are one of the formal description techniques able to capture both functional and performance aspects. We illustrate here, after our research experience, how the interleaving of the functional and the performance analysis theories produces a synergetic situation, in which each contributes to the development of the other.

The work of the author in this field is presently supported by the Spanish CICYT ROB 91-0949 and the ESPRIT-BRA Project 7269 (QMIPS) and WG 6067 (CALIBAN). J. Campos, G. Chiola, J.M. Colom and E. Teruel extensively contribute to this research program.
