摘要

The evaluation of dependability or performance of general systems usually relies on the assistance of stochastic modeling and simulation tools. Those software packages enables the creation of models and computation of metrics quickly and accurately. This paper introduces the Mercury tool, which is an integrated software that enables creating and evaluating Reliability Block Diagrams, Stochastic Petri Nets, Continuous Time Markov Chains, and Energy Flow Models. Mercury provides a graphical user interface, a script language for command-line interface, and also an API (Application Programming Interface) that enables interaction through external applications. The evaluation of models is not restricted to the assumption of Exponential distributions, which is a common constraint in other similar tools. Mercury implements a simulation framework that allows more than 25 probability distributions, as well as a moment matching method that enables expolynomial —phase-type —distributions for models solved through numerical analysis. This paper presents the main features and methods available in Mercury to aid the dependability and performance evaluation of various systems, for both academy and industry. The accuracy and applicability of the tool is illustrated by a case study of packet loss and throughput for a Video on Demand (VoD) system.
