Abstract :
Generalized stochastic Petri nets are briefly introduced and the work performed since the time of their proposal, to improve their modelling capabilities is surveyed according to three directions of research. The open problems that still need to be solved do make this formalism useful for the analysis of real systems are discussed and some directions of future research are suggested
