Inhaltsangabe

The third evolutionary I adaptive computing conference organised by the Plymouth Engineering Design Centre (PEDC) at the University of Plymouth again explores the utility of various adaptive search algorithms and complementary computational intelligence techniques within the engineering design and manufacturing domains. The intention is to investigate strategies and techniques that are of benefit not only as component I system optimisers but also as exploratory design tools capable of supporting the differing requirements of conceptual, embodiment and detailed design whilst taking into account the many manufacturing criteria influencing design direction. Interest in the integration of adaptive computing technologies with engineering has been rapidly increasing in recent years as practical examples illustrating their potential relating to system performance and design process efficiency have become more apparent. This is in addition to the realisation of significant commercial benefits from the application of evolutionary planning and scheduling strategies. The development of this conference series from annual PEDC one day workshops to the biennial ’Adaptive Computing in Engineering Design and Control’ conference and this year’s event reflects this growth in both academic and industrial interest. The name change to include manufacture relates to a desire to increase cover of integrated product development aspects, facility layout and scheduling in addition to process I machine control.

Reseña del editor

These papers were presented at the Third International Conference on Adaptive Computing in Design and Manufacture, organised by the Plymouth Engineering Design Centre (University of Plymouth) and held at Dartington Hall, Devon, April 1998. The collection is the work of leading international experts and researchers in the field of the development and application of evolutionary and adaptive computing techniques within the design and manufacture domain. Such techniques include Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Insect Colony Metaphors and Neural Computing utilised within overall search, optimisation and control strategies that offer significant utility to industrial design, manufacture and control. Applications address conceptual, embodiment and detailed design across aspects of civil, architectural, mechanical, electronic, aerospace and power system engineering. Manufacturing aspects include facility layout, task scheduling and system control. Application is illustrated in most cases by integration of the various algorithms and developed strategies with real-world design and manufacturing problems. This work illustrates the significant increase in application-oriented research relating to adaptive computing technologies in recent years and the increasing industrial interest in their integration with current practice. The content can be considered state-of-the-art in terms of application and will be of particular interest to associated research communities and to industrial design and manufacture groups who are either currently utilising such techniques or who wish to introduce them to their organisations.
