Petri Net Models of Simple Rule-Based Systems for Programming Physarum Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper, we show that biological substrate in the form of Physarum polycephalum can be used to simulate simple rule-based systems. To extort a proper behavior from the substrate, appropriate distribution of stimuli (attractants and/or repellents) is required. To model behavior of the substrate and then program Physarum machine (a biological computing device experimentally implemented in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum), we propose to use Petri net models that can be treated as a high-level description. Petri net models enable us to reflect propagation of protoplasmic veins of the plasmodium in consecutive time instants (step by step).

A rule-based evaluation of ladder logic diagram and timed petri nets for programmable logic controllers
This paper describes an evaluation through a case study by measuring a rule-based approach, which proposed for ladder logic diagrams and Petri nets. In the beginning, programmable logic controllers were widely designed by ladder logic diagrams. When complexity and functionality of manufacturing systems increases, developing their software is becoming more difficult. Thus, Petri nets as a high l...

متن کاملFinding Semantic Errors in the Rule-base of Production Systems, and Reasoning with Insufficient Input Data Petri-net-based Approach
Two simple but practical production systems are modeled using Petri Nets. Petri-net models are very useful in finding semantic errors like generalization error and missing conditions. In addition, reasoning with insufficient input information is formulated to yield meaningful results. In both rule-base verification and reasoning with insufficient data, heuristic methods like backward-chained re...
متن کاملFMS Scheduling Based on Timed Petri Net Model and RTA* Algorithm
This paper presents a new scheduling method for manufacturing system based on a Timed Petri net model and a reactive fast search algorithm. The following two typical problems are addressed in this paper. (1) Minimize the maximum completion time. (2) Minimize the total deadline over-time. As for problem (1), a search algorithm which combines RTA* and rule-based supervisor is proposed. Since both...
