Abstract: A generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) model for task allocation in distributed computer systems is presented. A Markov chain (MC) reduction technique is discussed. This MC reduction method is applied to the GSPN task allocation model to give the mean completion time of the system, for a given allocation of modules to processors.
Keywords: generalized stochastic net; task allocation (in) distributed system; Markov chain reduction.
