Through a structured approach, this book introduces reconfigurable generalized stochastic Petri nets (RecGSPNs), an advanced framework that integrates reconfigurability while preserving crucial system properties such as liveness, boundedness and deadlock-freedom. This book systematically explores modeling techniques, including stochastic reward nets and dynamic topology transformations, demonstrating their effectiveness through quantitative and qualitative analyses. By addressing challenges in state-space explosion and computational complexity, this book provides essential methodologies for researchers and practitioners working on reconfigurable systems, and serves as a valuable resource for those working in network security, manufacturing systems and distributed computing, where dynamic reconfigurations are essential.
