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.
