| Abstract: | This paper compared the difference between the traditional Petri nets and reasoning Petri nets(RPN),and presented a fuzzy reasoning Petri net(FRPN) model to represent the fuzzy production rules of a rule based system.Based on the FRPN model,a formal reasoning algorithm using the operators in max algebra was proposed to perform fuzzy reasoning automatically.The algorithm is consistent with the matrix equation expression method in the traditional Petri net.Its legitimacy and feasibility were testified through an example. |
