Analyze Transition System

Talion

Hi everybody,
I must do some "performance analysis" on the transition system attached below, using the plug-in "Analyze Transition System", and I don't understand the meaning of several stuffs. In particular, I have the following questions:
1) Why the states are colored in different ways? What the colors are meaning?
2) What are the percentages on the top of the screen (60%, 20%, 20%)?
3) What is the difference between the three types of timing (the combo box on the top-left)? I mean "sojourn" time, "elapsed" time and "remaining" time
Thank you in advance

Hi Talion,

Maybe these two papers can help:

Hi,

I have the similar question

What are the differences between service time, waiting time, elapsed time, remaining time and sojourn time. I can guess, but I am not sure about them.

I tried to open the two given links, but those are not accessible for me.

Would you please help me?

Thanks in advance
