Object-Oriented Implementation of a Model for Fuzzy Temporal Reasoning

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 89))

Abstract

A program object-oriented implementation of a new formal model for fuzzy temporal knowledge representation and reasoning in temporally rich domains is described in the paper. The model is based on the modification of the Petri Nets, called the Petri Nets with Fuzzy Time Tokens (PNFTT). It is suitable for knowledge bases design in intelligent systems that deal with vague, humanlike linguistic expressions.
