Abstract
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 QPME (Queueing Petri net Modeling Environment) - a tool that supports the modeling and analysis of systems using queueing Petri nets. QPME provides an Eclipse-based editor for designing queueing Petri net models and a powerful simulation engine for analyzing the models. After presenting the tool, we discuss the ongoing work on the QPME project and the planned future enhancements of the tool.
