The embedded agents can be complex ones such as mobile robots that would operate hierarchical fuzzy logic controllers or simple ones such as desk lamps that would bear threshold functions instead. The architecture would enable the agents to learn the users' desires and act based on them in real-time without having to repeatedly configure the system. The system can handle unreliable sensors and actuators as well as compensating for agents that break down and adapting on-line to sudden changes. The architecture allows for the organisation of agents to be dynamic since it accommodates for agents migrating in and out of the system.

The use of deterministic techniques to calculate the wind speed in canyons present a low accuracy because of the high uncertainty of the input data and the incomplete description of the physical phenomena. (C. Georgakis et al., 2004) Extended experimental data collected from seven urban canyons have been used to create a data base of the main parameters that define the phenomenon. Using fuzzy clustering techniques, clusters of input-output data have been developed using as criteria the inertia and gravitational forces. For each cluster using statistical analysis, the more probable wind speed inside the canyon and the corresponding input values have been estimated. Thus, a reduced data space has been created. This reduced data space has been used to develop four data driven prediction models. The models are : a 3D graphical interpolation method, a tree based model as well as a linear regression model. Using the results of the graphical interpolation model, a fuzzy estimation model has been developed as well.

The multilayered FPNN-MC structure is developed in a self-organizing way, using a structure learning procedure. The network's neurons are realized through fuzzy rule-based TSK systems, considered as generic fuzzy neuron classifiers (FNC's). Parent FNC's are combined to develop new higher-level descendant classifiers at the subsequent layer. Hence, sequential multistage decision is implemented, leading to improved classification results. To exploit the information acquired by FNC's at each layer and achieve an effective data flow, a fusion scheme is developed associated with a data reduction mechanism. Upon termination of the structure building, parameter learning is carried out using a genetic algorithm platform. A remarkable asset of the approach is that it resolves the feature selection task, providing the most relevant features of a problem.
