A number of tuning approaches for PID controllers are considered in the context of intelligent tuning methods. However, in the case of a 2-DOF PID controller, tuning based on classical approaches such a trial and error has been suggested. A general view is also provided that they are the special cases of either the linear model or the single control system. On the other hand, since the immune network system possesses a self organizing and distributed memory, it is thus adaptive to its external environment and allows a PDP (parallel distributed processing) network to complete patterns against the environmental situation. It can also provide an optimal solution. Simulation results reveal that immune algorithm based tuning is an effective approach to search for optimal or near optimal control.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

To compensate for the error in the goodness calculation (and to maintain the number of selected cells within some limit), a parameter known as 'bias' is used, which has major impact on the algorithm's run-time and on the quality of the solution subspace searched. However, it is difficult to select the appropriate value of this selection bias because it varies for each problem instance. In this paper, a biasless selection scheme for the SE algorithm is proposed. This scheme eliminates the human interaction needed in the selection of the bias value for each problem instance. Due to the imprecise nature of the design information at the placement stage, fuzzy logic is used in all stages of the SE algorithm. The proposed scheme was compared with an adaptive bias scheme and was always able to achieve better solutions.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.

The aim is for one player to capture more than half the seeds. In this work we show how an awari player can be evolved using a co-evolutionary approach where computer players play against one another, with the strongest players surviving and being mutated using an evolutionary strategy (ES). The players are represented using a simple evaluation function, representing the current game state, with each term of the function having a weight which is evolved using the ES. The output of the evaluation function is used in a mini-max search. We play the best evolved player against one of the strongest shareware programs (Awale) and are able to defeat the program at three of its four levels of play.","PeriodicalId":184547,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation.
