Abstract :
The design of a fuzzy clock as an observer of changing duration during routing of packets in a network with chaos is given. A fuzzy Petri net model of an approximate time window (ATW) is used to model a fuzzy clock. The results of a simulation of the operation of a fuzzy clock in an agent network application is given.
