- Parallel simulation of stochastic Petri Nets
- using recurrence equations
-
- September 1991
-
-
- in english language
-
- A new parallel simulation method is proposed for the class of
- stochastic decision free Petri nets, that is amenable to an SIMD
- implementation. This method is based on the max,+ - linear structure
- of recurrence equations that were established for this type of
- systems. Two variants are analyzed, the spatial and the temporal
- methods. The spatial method allows one to simulate large networks. The
- temporal method, which generalizes to Petri nets a method that was
- introduced recently for queues, is of more use for simulating systems
- for a long time interval. The emphasis is put on the spatial approach
- which is shown to provide a simple way of estimating both the cycle
- time and the statistics of the marking process. The theoretical
- parallel complexity of this algorithm is first investigated. In
- particular, a few examples of practical interest are provided
- (blocking queues in tandem and a stochastic job shop model) for which
- the cost of simulating O(NT) events of a net of size T is in O(N log
- T) with this parallel simulation method, while the classical
- sequential discrete event simulation is in O(NT) at least. These
- theoretical considerations are confirmed by experimental results
- obtained from a prototype that was implemented on the Connection
- Machine.

- Applicability of the session and the
- presentation layers for the support of
- high speed applications
-
- October 1992
-
-
- In english language
-
- This report contains a detailed assessment of the session and
- presentation services and protocols in order to study their
- suitability to support high speed applications. We thus concentrate on
- the performance aspects of these standard protocols. The evaluation
- will be focused on the following topics: the assessment of the session
- layer, the suitability of some Interface Description Languages, data
- transparency and transfer syntaxes, the presentation protocol. A
- special interest is given to the description and evaluation of a light
- weight transfer syntax called FTLWS (Flat Tree Light Weight Syntax)
- proposed as an alternative to the ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules.

- PROSE: a functional toolbox for constraint
- interpretation ; a users'guide.
-
- November 1992
-
-
- In french language
-
- Prose is a set of tools for solving the constraint satisfaction
- problem for variables with a finite domain as well as the consistency
- maintenance problem for all types of variables. This technical report
- presents the system in its new release and makes up a users' guide.

- NMS : a multi-specialist module for the Smeci
- expert system shell
-
-
- October 1992
-
- In french language
-
-
- This report is the reference manual of the NMS software module which
- runs within the Smeci expert system shell. NMS introduces the
- specialist concept which enables the structuring and modularization of
- a knowledge base, within the blackboard framework.
