Scoop: A Complete Methodology for Cooperative Systems Modeling and Analysis

In this paper, we present our methodology proposal for cooperative remote systems modeling. Its aim is to develop models of existing or planned cooperative systems. These models are used to specify systems or to create dynamic working simulations. Comparative performances are deduced from the latter. The associated meta-model proposal is based, among other things, on the use of multi-agent systems, Petri nets and stochastics Petri nets. After having described the whole methodology concepts, we show a set of general results extracted from simulations.
