Stochastic Petri nets are a form of Petri net where the transitions fire after a probabilistic delay determined by a random variable.

Definition

[edit]

A stochastic Petri net is a five-tuple SPN = (P, T, F, M0, Λ) where:

  1. P is a set of states, called places.
  2. T is a set of transitions.
  3. F where F (P × T) (T × P) is a set of flow relations called "arcs" between places and transitions (and between transitions and places).
  4. M0 is the initial marking.
  5. Λ = is the array of firing rates λ associated with the transitions. The firing rate, a random variable, can also be a function λ(M) of the current marking.

Correspondence to Markov process

[edit]

The reachability graph of stochastic Petri nets can be mapped directly to a Markov process. It satisfies the Markov property, since its states depend only on the current marking. Each state in the reachability graph is mapped to a state in the Markov process, and the firing of a transition with firing rate λ corresponds to a Markov state transition with probability λ.
