Abstract

This paper presents a fuzzy Petri net based approach suitable for the modeling of flexible coordination mechanisms to deal with temporal interdependencies between collaborative tasks. Such approach is based on an extension of the Generalized Fuzzy Petri Net model, including the notion of time for the execution and synchronization of these tasks. A scenario of study is described, indicating the suitability of the proposal.
