Marked-Controlled Rewriting EFPN for Dynamic Knowledge Inference

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the descriptive marked-controlled rewriting Extended Fuzzy Petri Nets (EFPN) that can at run-time modify their own structure by rewriting some of their descriptive expression components where the enabling of a rule also depends on the net marking. They can then be used in the design of “dynamic knowledge inference” frameworks, which are adjustable according to knowledge variation as human cognition and thinking. This is very important for some domains, such as expert systems.
