Knowledge representation using fuzzy Petri nets-revisited

In the paper by S. Chen et al. (see ibid., vol.2, no.3, p.311-19, 1990), the authors proposed an algorithm which determines whether there exists an antecedent-consequence relationship from a fuzzy proposition d _s to proposition d_j and if the degree of truth of proposition d_s is given, then the degree of truth of proposition d_j can be evaluated. The fuzzy reasoning algorithm proposed by S. Chen et al. (1990) was found not to be working with all types of data. We propose: (1) a modified form of the algorithm, and (2) a concept of hierarchical fuzzy Petri nets for data abstraction
