Graph-based modelling paradigms are widely accepted for use in computer systems, having characteristics of parallelism and concurrency. This is a detailed and illustrative presentation of the generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) modelling approach. Fundamentals of Petri nets and Markov chains are introduced before defining GSPNs and their analysis. Applications and extensions are discussed and a software package - Great GSPN - is described.
