Distributed systems and fault tolerance

Queueing Petri nets are a powerful formalism that can be exploited for modeling distributed systems and analyzing their performance and scalability. By combining the modeling power and expressiveness of queueing networks and stochastic Petri nets, queueing Petri nets provide a number of advantages. In this paper, we present Version 2.0 of our tool QPME (Queueing Petri net Modeling Environment) for modeling and analysis of systems using queueing Petri nets. The development of the tool was initiated by Samuel Kounev in 2003 at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in the group of Prof. Alejandro Buchmann. Since then the tool has been distributed to more than 100 organizations worldwide. QPME provides an Eclipse-based editor for building queueing Petri net models and a powerful simulation engine for analyzing the models. After presenting the tool, we discuss ongoing work on the QPME project and the planned future enhancements of the tool.
