In this paper we present an automatic procedure to derive PEPA process algebra models from sequence diagrams (SD) to carry out quantitative evaluation. PEPA has recently been enriched with a fluid-flow semantics facilitating the analysis of models of a scale and complexity which would defeat Markovian analysis. date: 2008-09 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 205-214 event_title: Quantitative Evaluation of Systems, 2008.
