Evolutionary computation is the name given to collection of algorithms based on the evolution of a population towards a solution of a certain problem. These algorithms are used successfully in many applications requiring the optimization of a certain multidimensional function. The population of possible solutions evolves from one generation to the next, ultimately arriving at a satisfactory solution to the problem. These algorithms differ in the way a new population is generated from the present one and in the way the members are represented within the algorithm. Three types of evolutionary computing techniques are widely reported recently. These are genetic algorithms (GAs), genetic programming (GP) and evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The EAs can be divided into evolutionary strategies (ES) and evolutionary programming (EP). All three of these algorithms in some way are modelled after the evolutionary processes occurring in nature.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133450142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of artificial neural networks has been marked by periods of considerable optimism and others of disillusionment. A realistic assessment of the potential of artificial neural networks is attempted and some of the unrealistic expectations which has grown around a new and developing subject are dispelled. The study of artificial neural networks originally grew out of a desire to understand the function of the biological brain. This relationship between the biological neuron and the artificial neuron has been of great importance in past research but at the present time it does not appear to be a fruitful field. A basic description of the biological neural network is included so that the debt the artificial neural network owes to the biological neural network may be appreciated.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"91 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131776417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the classical Boolean logic truth is represented by the 1 state and falsity is by the 0 state. Boolean algebra has no provision for approximate reasoning. Fuzzy logic is an extension of Boolean logic in the sense that it also provides a platform for handling uncertain and imprecise knowledge. Fuzzy logic uses fuzzy set theory, in which a variable is a member of one or more sets, with a specified degree of membership, usually denoted by the Greek letter /spl mu/. The paper provides an introduction to fuzzy systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133411049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These applications being largely nonelectrical in nature, the impact has been even more tremendous. Mechanical and chemical engineers have suddenly to grapple with advanced electronic technologies in terms of communications, electronic hardware and computer software developments. On the other hand electrical engineers have to contend with ingenious ways of integrating modem semiconductor and communications technology into designs for instruments which are primarily mechanical in the front end and purpose. With the tremendous size of the market in the industrial measurement and control sector, the momentum given by the advances in electronics and communications is even more felt in this sector than in many other sectors. The impact of all these factors is to make the field of instrumentation for measurement and control ever more interdisciplinary and with endless challenges thrown open especially by the developments in microelectronics, computer software and the ever increasing demand of industrial processes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133553894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applications have been, and are continuing to be, developed in areas as diverse as business, medicine, manufacturing, defence, astronomy, science and engineering. Such applications perform tasks that include interpretation, prediction, diagnosis, design, planning, monitoring, debugging, repairing, instruction and control. The expert systems are the offshoots of artificial intelligence which is concerned with using computers to simulate human intelligence in a limited way. Some researchers define artificial intelligence (AI) as the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men. In the last few decades, AI has spread into major subfields including expert systems, artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation and chaos theory. Some researchers do not differentiate between expert systems and knowledge-based systems. The key issue behind all these developments is the knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation and knowledge processing.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":302763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114830488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
