Our purpose is that of identifying the environmental situations in which such paradigms should be preferred or combined in order to optimize the performances of a distributed system. The scenario selected for the analysis is the Information Retrieval on the WWW. An analytical evaluation throughout the solution of non-Markovian Petri net models is provided.}, keywords = {REMOTE EVALUATION}, doi = {10.1109/ISCC.2002.1021760}, author = {Marco Scarpa and M.
