Fuzzy Petri Nets for Knowledge Representation, Acquisition and Reasoning

This book provides valuable knowledge, useful fuzzy Petri nets (FPN) models, and practical examples that can be considered by mangers in supporting knowledge management of organizations to increase and sustain their competitive advantages. In this book, the authors proposed various improved FPN models to enhance the modeling power and applicability of FPNs in knowledge representation and reasoning. This book is useful for practitioners and researchers working in the fields of knowledge management, operation management, information science, industrial engineering, and management science. It can also be used as a textbook for postgraduate and senior undergraduate students.

Is the first one available on improving FPN models for knowledge representation and reasoning Provides many real cases to illustrate the advantages of the proposed FPN models Covers improved FPN models considering the characteristics of practical situations
