FPNES: fuzzy Petri net based expert system for bridges damage assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A framework of integrated expert systems based on fuzzy Petri net, called fuzzy Petri net based expert system (FPNES) are proposed for bridge damage assessment. Major features of FPNES include: reasoning for uncertain and imprecise information; knowledge representation through the use of hierarchical fuzzy Petri nets; reasoning mechanism based on fuzzy Petri nets; and explanation of reasoning process through the use of hierarchical fuzzy Petri nets. FPNES offer several important benefits: (1) providing reasoning mechanism for uncertain and fuzzy information, (2) improving the efficiency of rule based reasoning by constructing relationship of concurrency among rule activation, and (3) explaining how to reach conclusions through the movements of tokens in fuzzy Petri nets. An application to the damage assessment of the Da-Shi bridge in Taiwan is used as an illustrative example of FPNES.

A fuzzy Petri net-based expert system and its application to damage assessment of bridges
In this paper, a fuzzy Petri net approach to modeling fuzzy rule-based reasoning is proposed to bring together the possibilistic entailment and the fuzzy reasoning to handle uncertain and imprecise information. The three key components in our fuzzy rule-based reasoning-fuzzy propositions, truth-qualified fuzzy rules, and truth-qualified fuzzy facts-can be formulated as fuzzy places, uncertain t...

متن کاملTimetabling Using Adaptive Fuzzy Petri Nets
A Petri net is an abstract formal model of the behavior of a system and information flow. The properties, concepts, and techniques of Petri net are so as to present it as a simple and strong method for describing and analyzing information flow and systems control. Fuzzy Petri Net (FPN) is an appropriate powerful model to emulate knowledge base systems using fuzzy rules. Yet, FPN model does not ...
متن کاملDynamic knowledge inference and learning under adaptive fuzzy Petri net framework
Since knowledge in expert system is vague and modified frequently, expert systems are fuzzy and dynamic systems. It is very important to design a dynamic knowledge inference framework which is adjustable according to knowledge variation as human cognition and thinking. Aiming at this object, a generalized fuzzy Petri net model is proposed in this paper, it is called adaptive fuzzy Petri net (AF...
