Inhaltsangabe

This book contains thirty timely contributions in the emerging field of Computational Intelligence (CI) with reference to system control design and applications. The three basic constituents ofCI are neural networks (NNs). fuzzy logic (FL) I fuzzy reasoning (FR). and genetic algorithms (GAs). NNs mimic the distributed functioning of the human brain and consist of many. rather simple. building elements (called artificial neurons) which are controlled by adaptive parameters and are able to incorporate via learning the knowledge provided by the environment, and thus respond intelligently to new stimuli. Fuzzy logic (FL) provides the means to build systems that can reason linguistically under uncertainty like the human experts (common sense reasoning). Both NNs and FL I FR are among the most widely used tools for modeling unknown systems with nonlinear behavior. FL suits better when there is some kind of knowledge about the system. such as, for example, the linguistic information of a human expert. On the other hand. NNs possess unique learning and generalization capabilities that allow the user to construct very accurate models of nonlinear systems simply using input-output data. GAs offer an interesting set of generic tools for systematic random search optimization following the mechanisms of natural genetics. In hybrid Computational Intelligence - based systems these three tools (NNs, FL, GAs) are combined in several synergetic ways producing integrated tools with enhanced learning, generalization. universal approximation. reasoning and optimization abilities.

Reseña del editor

The field of computational intelligence (CI) has expanded rapidly during recent years with a large and still increasing range of applications. This book contains a cohesive set of thirty contributions that cover a wide, well-selected range of topics. The book is organized in the following five parts: * Part I: Neural network-based intelligent estimation and control * Part II: Fuzzy logic-based intelligent estimation and control * Part III: Genetic algorithm-based system analysis and design * Part IV: Hybrid intelligent techniques in system analysis and control * Part V: Computational intelligence in engineering applications Parts I-IV include general overviews, new techniques and practical CI algorithms for system analysis, identification, optimization and control, and Part V contains nine important applications of CI dealing with robot control, collision avoidance of dangerous ships, automated visual inspection, control of fed-batch bioprocesses, identification of naval turbochargers, semi-active suspension design of ground vehicles, ecological populations' modeling, vehicle navigation, state estimation of electric power systems, and multi-robot cooperative control. The book can be used as a reference volume by researchers and practitioners in the field, and as a rich unified information source by teachers and students in related postgraduate programs, thus saving considerable time in searching the scattered literature in the field.
