In the proposed Possibilistic Timed Safe Petri Net, we attach a duration to each transition, which can be precise, imprecise, or fuzzy, accounting for the maximal amount of time in which that transition can be completed once fired, and we attach a possibility degree to each arc between a place and a transition, to account for the preference of this transition in relation to the other transitions going out of that place. The second goal of this work is to address the problem of the management of incomplete information in the proposed model, what makes it possible to order the most plausible marking at a given moment of time. In particular, we investigate a new way to represent and deal with uncertain markings. Namely, we find all possible precise markings compatible with the uncertain marking, and attach to each one a weight accounting to the possibility of it being the real marking. Then the Petri net is dealt with as with precise markings, but with special operations performed with the weights. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. %8 Aug %N 8 %T On possibilistic timed safe Petri nets %@secondarytype PRE PI %K Petri nets, temporal information, possibility theory, fuzzy sets. %@group LAS-INPE-MCT-BR %@copyholder SID/SCD %@secondarykey INPE-13918-PRE/9098 %@issn 0884-8173 %2 sid.inpe.br/marciana/2004/08.18.14.01.04 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina %@project Processamento, manipulação, exploração e análise avançada de dados %B International Journal of Intelligent Systems %P 841-858 %4 sid.inpe.br/marciana/2004/08.18.14.01 %@documentstage not transferred %D 1999 %V 14 %A Sandri, Sandra Aparecida, %A Cardoso, Janette, %@dissemination WEBSCI %@area COMP
