Download or read book Fuzziness in Petri Nets written by Janette Cardoso and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-11-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume provides a comprehensive, up-to-date account on recent developments concerning the incorporation of fuzzy capabilities in Petri Net models. The results of such studies originated the class of models that have been designated by Fuzzy Petri Nets. The recent papers specially elaborated for this volume range over several aspects of fuzziness in Petri nets. They form an interesting collection of original works that covers a great variety of relevant problems concerning the concept of Fuzzy Petri Net model. The articles approach several of the most outstanding issues in the framework of Fuzzy Petri nets, such as the representation of time, consistency checking, learning, design, computational efficiency, modelling flexibility, among others. From the material collected in the book one can extract the points of view of leading researchers concerning the basic and advanced concepts, advantages, potential applications and open problems, related to the field.
