In the field of distributed computer systems, in order to specify, verify, and implement systems formally, Formal Description Techniques have been developed. Specification language Estelle, which is an ISO standard, is one of these techniques. Purpose of the present paper is to create a method of performance evaluation for the language Estelle that is based on Petri net methodology.
