This paper describes the use of the stochastic process algebra PEPA to model and evaluate the performance of an industrial production cell. An initial speci cation of the production cell is is developed and transformed to allow performance measures of the cell to be found. The reasons for making these transformations are given, and performance measures for the transformed speci cation are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
