Performance Evaluation of a Blackboard Using Stochastic Petri Nets

Abstract
In this paper, a general blackboard based system is studied using Stochastic Petri Nets (SPN). We show how the dynamic behavior of the blackboard can be modeled, and analyze the marking graph of the resulting stochastic Petri net. The net is simulated with respect to the number of available processors, the event interarrival time and the average unification time, and performance results are presented.
