The certainty factors of the fuzzy production rules and the certainty factors of fuzzy propositions appearing in the rules are represented by real values between zero and one. If it can allow the certainty factors of the fuzzy production rules and the certainty factors of fuzzy propositions can be represented by intervals, such as vague numbers between zero and one based on vague sets, then it can allow the reasoning of rule-based systems to perform fuzzy reasoning in more flexible manner[18]. we are also proposed an efficient algorithm to perform vague set reasoning automatically. This vague set reasoning algorithm allows the rule-based systems to perform reasoning in a more flexible and more efficient.
