Abstract

The aim of this study is based on Survey on fuzzy Petri nets for Classification. Petri Nets (PN) is excellent networks which have great characteristics of combining a well defined mathematical theory with a graphical representation of the dynamic behavior of systems. But, with the growth in the difficulty of modern industrial, and communication systems, PN found themselves inadequate to address the problems of vagueness, and imprecision in data. This gave rise to combination of Fuzzy logic with Petri nets and a new tool emerged with the name of Fuzzy Petri Nets (FPN). Much research has been done for FPN and a number of their applications have been expected, but their basic types and structure is still ambiguous. Result of this research, an effort is made to categorize the applications of FPN for classification according to their structure and algorithms. We identify the different types of Petri nets will improve future research on Petri nets. Hence in this study, due to these limitations we focus on establishing the FPN in the light of their classifications has been done.
