Abstract

In 1990 Shyi-Ming Chen et al. presented a new approach to knowledge representation using fuzzy Petri nets (FPN). A fuzzy Petri net model allows a structural representation of knowledge and has a systematic procedure for supporting fuzzy reasoning. In this paper we propose an algebraic (matrix) representation of FPNs. We use this representation in a fuzzy reasoning algorithm which is simple to implement in modern programming languages such as C++, C# or Java. Furthermore, there exists MATLAB - a computer system which makes it possible to solve many computing problems, especially those with matrix and vector formulations. We present also an approach enabling us to carry out a fuzzy reasoning process using the MATLAB environment.
