Abstract
GreatSPN is a tool that supports the design and the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPN) and of Stochastic Well-Formed Nets (SWN). The very first version of GreatSPN saw the light in the late eighties of last century: since then two main releases where developed and widely distributed to the research community: GreatSPN1.7 [13], and GreatSPN2.0 [8]. This paper reviews the main functionalities of GreatSPN2.0 and presents some recently added features that significantly enhance the efficacy of the tool.
