Modeling time-varying uncertain situations using Dynamic Influence Nets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper enhances the Timed Influence Nets (TIN) based formalism to model uncertainty in dynamic situations. The enhancements enable a system modeler to specify persistence and time-varying influences in a dynamic situation that the existing TIN fails to capture. The new class of models is named Dynamic Influence Nets (DIN). Both TIN and DIN provide an alternative easy-to-read and compact representation to several time-based probabilistic reasoning paradigms including Dynamic Bayesian Networks. The Influence Net (IN) based approach has its origin in the Discrete Event Systems modeling. The time delays on arcs and nodes represent the communication and processing delays, respectively, while the changes in the probability of an event at different time instants capture the uncertainty associated with the occurrence of the event over a period of time. 2008 Elsevier Inc.

Dynamic Influence Nets: An Extension of Timed Influence Nets for Modeling Dynamic Uncertain Situation
This paper proposes structural and parametric enhancements in the Timed Influence Nets (TINs) based framework for modeling Effects-Based Operations (EBO). The existing TIN framework does not have the capability to model the impact of different sequences of actions. Thus, no matter what the sequence of action is, the final outcome remains the same. Furthermore, it is assumed that the influence o...
متن کاملHybrid Time Delay Petri Nets as a Mathematical Novel Tool to Model Dynamic System with Current Sample Time
The existing modeling methods using Petri Nets, have been successfully applied to model and analyze dynamic systems. However, these methods are not capable of modeling all dynamic systems such as systems with the current sample time signals, systems including various subsystems and multi-mode systems. This paper proposes Hybrid Time Delay Petri Nets (HTDPN) to solve the problem. In ...
متن کاملA timed colored Petri nets modeling for dynamic workflow in product development process
Product development process (PDP) is one of the most important business processes for enterprises but it has difficulty in workflow management because of the uncertain and dynamic characteristics. Thus, even though there have been many workflow modeling and management methods, they have limitations to deal with the special characteristics of PDP. We define PWF-nets based on timed colored Petri ...
متن کاملInfluences of temporal evolution of ground motion frequency content on developed dynamic ratcheting in SDOF systems
Dynamic Ratcheting (DR) is a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon occurring in hysteretic damping systems. It means the structural plastic deformation increases asymmetrically in successive cycles under an earthquake excitation. Although it is generally recognized that DR is closely related to the frequency contents of an earthquake excitation applied to thestructure, no targeted analysis has bee...
متن کاملSoccer Goalkeeper Task Modeling and Analysis by Petri Nets
In a robotic soccer team, goalkeeper is an important challenging role, which has different characteristics from the other teammates. This paper proposes a new learning-based behavior model for a soccer goalkeeper robot by using Petri nets. The model focuses on modeling and analyzing, both qualitatively and quantitatively, for the goalkeeper role so that we have a model-based knowledge of the ta...
