Abstract

In this work, the discrete event systems called Stochastic Marked Graphs (SMGs) are investigated from a stability point of view. Being a special class of Timed Petri Nets with stochastic firing times, they are studied under general assumptions of stationarity and ergodicity of the firing times and ergodicity of flows of their free strongly connected components. The values of the flows of tokens in an SMG are specified as functions of the intrinsic rates of its free strongly connected components, and various stability issues are discussed.
