A Decision Support System for Communication Network Analysis Based on Hybrid Petri Net Models
For practitioners in communication and transport systems, this work offers a decision support tool, but the approach is incremental as it applies existing Hybrid Petri net methodology to a new domain.
The paper presents a modular approach using Hybrid Petri nets for modeling and analysis of complex communication and transport systems, and proposes a Decision Support System for performance evaluation and time optimization.
It is well known that the complex system operation requires the use of new scientific tools and computer simulation. This paper presents a modular approach for modeling and analysis of the complex systems (in communication or transport systems area) using Hybrid Petri nets. The performance evaluation of the hybrid model is made by a simulation methodology that allows building up various functioning scenarios. A Decision Support System based on the above mentioned methodologies of modeling and analysis will be designed for performance evaluation and time optimization of large scale communication and/or transport systems.
