Its agents are autonomous and follow a computational model in which the communications are non-blocking and the communication scheme is explicit. ParCeL-1 has a parallel implementation and runs on several multiprocessor architectures. We give an example of connectionist programming (the Kohonen map) and show several performance results on a transputer based multiprocessor architecture and on the Cray T3D parallel computer.","PeriodicalId":187481,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium on Neuro-Fuzzy Systems, AT '96.

We detail a class of solutions which covers another particular solution, and spans from constant to logarithmic depths. These circuit complexity results are supplemented by fresh VLSI complexity results having applications to hardware implementations of neural networks and to VLSI-friendly learning algorithms. In order to estimate the area (A) and the delay (T), as well as the classical AT/sup 2/, we use the following 'cost functions': (i) the connectivity (i.e., sum of fan-ins) and the number-of-bits for representing the weights and thresholds are used to approximate the area; while (ii) the fan-ins and the length of the wires are used for closer estimates of the delay. Such approximations allow us to compare the different solutions-which present very interesting fan-in dependent depth-size and area-delay tradeoffs-with respect to AT/sup 2/.","PeriodicalId":187481,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium on Neuro-Fuzzy Systems, AT '96.

Our paper presents some comparative results of simulations of a electrohydraulic axis both with P, PID and fuzzy-logic controllers as preliminary steps towards their implementation on the HYPAS-simulation software as well as for some actual applications in the field of machine tools.

Their drawbacks are caused mainly by the difficulty of defining accurate membership functions and lack of a systematic procedure for the transformation of expert knowledge into the rule base. Neural networks have the ability to learn but with some neural networks, knowledge representation and extraction are difficult. First, we consider a rule based fuzzy controller and a learning procedure based on the stochastic approximation method. The radial basis function neural network is then considered and it is shown that a modified form of this network is identical with the fuzzy controller which may thus be considered as a neuro-fuzzy controller. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the approach and it is shown that such an adaptive neuro-fuzzy system is successful in the control of a mobile robot.","PeriodicalId":187481,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium on Neuro-Fuzzy Systems, AT '96.

The innovative feature of this design is the independence of the processing rate from the fuzzy system. The fuzzy chip architecture is pipelined and each step takes 20 ns. We describe in this paper the fuzzification process: in our solution the membership functions (MFs) have a triangular shape, therefore there is a memory where the related points necessary to define the shape are stored. In one pipeline step the MF shape is generated and in the following step the grade of truth /spl alpha/ is computed. In this paper we describe in details the circuit.","PeriodicalId":187481,"journal":{"name":"1st International Symposium on Neuro-Fuzzy Systems, AT '96.
