Developing models for performance evaluation of computer systems, logistic systems etc. often is a complex task. The effort can be considerably reduced if appropriate software tools are available. In many cases queueing network models are suitable for solving the problem to a sufficient degree of accuracy. SIQUEUE-PET provides an environment for construction, evaluation and result representation of such models. The user is assisted through a graphical interface for model construction as well as for result representation. The availability of a support for object management provides further alleviation in the modelling activities. This contribution gives a brief overview of the main features of SIQUEUE-PET. From the viewpoint of modelling style, the availability of aggregation techniques and the capability of processing hierarchically structured models is to be emphasized. An example is included for illustrative purposes.
