The optimisation sequence starts with inverse modelling of the phase data, which uniquely corresponds to the characteristics of the coupled system of the sidescan vehicle and the seafloor terrain. These phase data are then compared with phase data actually collected by the sonar, to produce a correlation coefficient as an objective function. Simulation results are reported for the algorithm showing robust convergence towards the optimum value of the objective function. The results indicate that this new approach can be used to avoid difficulties widely encountered during forward processing of phase data to derive bathymetry.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

The search ability of bacterial mutation is formulated and compared with those of conventional mutation operations. It is shown that the bacterial mutation surpasses conventional ones in search performance.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

A schedule in a sports league must satisfy many constraints on timing, such as the number of games played between every pair of teams, the bounds on the number of consecutive home (or away) games for each team, every pair of teams must have played each other in the first half of the season, and so on. In addition to finding a feasible schedule that meets all the timing restrictions, the problem addressed has the additional complexity of having the objective of minimizing travel costs and every team having a balanced number of games at home. We formalize the scheduling problem into an optimization problem and adopt the concept of evolution strategy to solve it. We define the travel cost and distance cost for teams in the sports league by referring to Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and focus on the scheduling problem in MLB. Using the new method, it is more efficient at finding better results than previous approaches.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

This controller is a non-model based system that uses a self-organized neuro-fuzzy identifier to predict the response of the plant in a future time interval. The control inputs are optimized in this prediction horizon by evolutionary programming (EP) to minimize the error of identifier outputs and reference set points. The identifier performs automatic rule generation and membership function tuning by genetic algorithm (GA) and error back-propagation methods, respectively. This intelligent system provides a predictive control of multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems with slow time variation.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

Qualitative a priori information is incorporated using a rank based scheme to constrain the admissible solutions. Balance between the fitness function (adhesion to the measurement data) and the penalty function (fidelity to a priori knowledge) is achieved by a stochastic sort algorithm. The over-smoothing of Young's modulus discontinuity is avoided without the need of computing a deterministic weight coefficient. The experiment on synthetic data indicates that the proposed method not only reconstructed reliable Young's modulus from noisy data, but also expedited the convergence process significantly.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.
