Measure of Uncertainty in Process Models Using Stochastic Petri Nets and Shannon Entropy
When modelling and analysing business processes, the main emphasis is usually put on model validity and accuracy, i.e., the model meets the formal specification and also models the relevant system. In recent years, a series of metrics has begun to develop, which allows the quantification of the specific properties of process models. These characteristics are, for instance, complexity, comprehen...
متن کاملDeng entropy: a generalized Shannon entropy to measure uncertainty
Shannnon entropy is an efficient tool to measure uncertain information. However, it cannot handle the more uncertain situation when the uncertainty is represented by basic probability assignment (BPA), instead of probability distribution, under the framework of Dempster Shafer evidence theory. To address this issue, a new entropy, named as Deng entropy, is proposed. The proposed Deng entropy is...
متن کاملModeling and Performance Evaluation of Energy Consumption in S-MAC Protocol Using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets
One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...
متن کاملAn entropy-based uncertainty measure of process models
In managing business processes, the process uncertainty and variability are significant factors causing difficulties in prediction and decision making, which evokes and augments the importance and need of process measures for systematic analysis. We propose an entropy-based process measure to quantify the uncertainty of business process models. The proposed measure enables capturing the dynamic...
متن کاملMapping coloured stochastic Petri nets to stochastic process algebras
We provide a mapping which translates a model in a coloured stochastic Petri net notation (PEPA nets) into a term of a foundational stochastic process algebra (Stochastic CCS). Our mapping is a compositional static method which translates from one high-level model to another without needing to evaluate the state space of the given PEPA net. The result of the translation is a well-formed input f...
