Computational Intelligence In Systems And Control Design And Applications

The field of computational intelligence (CI) has expandedrapidly during recent years with a large and still increasing range ofapplications. This book contains a cohesive set of thirtycontributions that cover a wide, well-selected range of topics. Thebook is organized in the following five parts: Parts I-IV include general overviews, new techniques andpractical CI algorithms for system analysis, identification, optimization and control, and Part V contains nine importantapplications of CI dealing with robot control, collision avoidance ofdangerous ships, automated visual inspection, control of fed-batchbioprocesses, identification of naval turbochargers, semi-activesuspension design of ground vehicles, ecological populations'modeling, vehicle navigation, state estimation of electric powersystems, and multi-robot cooperative control.The book can be used as a reference volume by researchers andpractitioners in the field, and as a rich unified information sourceby teachers and students in related postgraduate programs, thus savingconsiderable time in searching the scattered literature in the field.
