SIMSTORS

SIMSTORS is a simulator for regulated stochastic timed Petri nets. These Petri nets are a variant of stochastic and timed nets, which execution is controlled by a regulation policy an a predetermined theoretical schedule. The role of the regulation policy is to control the system to realize the schedule with the best possible precision. This software allows not only for step by step simulation, but also for performance analysis of systems such as production cells or train systems.

SIMSTORS was used successfully during a collaboration with Alstom transport to model existing urban railway systems and their regulation schemes. Alstom transport is willing to transfer this software and use it during early design phase of regulation algorithms in their metro lines.

Future extensions of the software will deal with verification of several new properties such as the robustness of proposed schedules.
