Abstract (EN)

This paper presents a case study of performance evaluation of a distributed database system: a real banking system with several branches interconnected via a Wide Area Network. Due to the complexity of such systems, we use Stochastic Well Formed Petri nets to model its activities; the model obtained allows computation of its performance indices. This is done by taking into account the dimensional parameters, the behaviour of the clients submitting requests and the number of clients, the WAN contention and the locality level of the database. Synthesizing these various results, we propose configuration settings matching given workloads and system structures.
