Abstract

Software design methodologies for distributed/multiprocessor systems are investigated. Parallelism and multitasking are considered as key issues in the design process. Petri-nets and precedence graphs are presented as techniques for the modeling of a problem for implementation on a computer system. Techniques using the Petri-net and precedence graph to decompose the problem model into subsets that may be executed on a distributed/multiprocessor system are presented. These techniques offer a systematic design methodology for the design of distributed/multiprocessor system software.
