The neural network is trained using genetic algorithm in initial phase. This is followed by a second phase of backpropagation training that uses weight matrix determined by first phase for initialization. For establishing the superior performance of our classifier, published data from polymer-coated surface-acoustic wave (SAW) sensors array exposed to varying concentration of each of nine vapours belonging to two different classes have been used. Vapours of class I are toxic vapours of interest in ambient air that contains common interferents (class II vapours) at much higher concentration. Performance of the classifier is evaluated by reducing dimensionality of resulting data matrix from 4 to 1 by taking a different set of sensors. We show that as the dimension is reduced, the gas identification problem becomes harder for backpropagation. Whereas the same set of problems when solved using a genetic algorithm with heuristic switch over to backpropagation as a training paradigm, significantly better results are obtained in predicting class and type of test vapours.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The proposed method analyzes the hand drawn trajectories by human individuals on environment maps showing typical obstacle placements, and evaluates the navigational decision parameters. The translation and steering velocity variation along the curve are computed based on the constraints of the mobile entity (e.g., an autonomous mobile robot). The decisions are considered to be taken in the context of the distances of the obstacles around the current point on the trajectory. The instances of environmental situations and corresponding intended actions are used to train a neural network. To reduce the complexity of the network, the number of input variables for the network is reduced by considering only single sided reflex behaviors. The left-right symmetry of the perception-action behaviors allows the single sided reflex network to be used for both left and right hand side reflex in the vicinity of obstacles. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in typical obstacle situations.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The shape of the dies and the temperature developed during extrusion and the velocity of the dies significantly influence forging force at which the process is to be carried out. In order to understand the complex relationship between the material and process variables, a few finite element models are developed and simulated in the FORGE2 environment. These finite element simulations are used to train a neural network (NN) model. Later the same model is incorporated along with a genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) to form SONSST. It incorporates a genetic crossover operator BLX-/spl alpha/ and a problem specific mutation operator incorporating a local search heuristic: to provide it a better search capability. Extensive simulations have been carried out considering various aspects and the results are validated with those of the existing finite element method in the literature. These results indicate that the new SONSST heuristic converges to better solutions rapidly. SONSST is a truly single-objective technique as it provides the values of various process parameters for optimizing single objective (extrusion load), in a single run and thus assists in achieving energy and material saving, quality improvement and in the development of sound extruded parts.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The classical approach is to use a PID controller with constant parameters after analyzing the stability criterion. The modern approach is to use controllers based on fuzzy logic or other AI techniques. The authors have chosen a speed-tracking problem where a DC machine has to follow a time varying speed demand. The controller coefficients are fixed through an evolutionary algorithm. Representative values of steady state error, maximum overshoot and transient rise time are computed through feature extraction algorithms. Now, the fitness of each member is computed as a fuzzy value based on some predefined fuzzy functions involving the feature values. This fuzzy fitness value governs the selection of coefficients through a genetic algorithm until convergence is obtained. The performance has been studied with various fitness functions and the results are found to be satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The method adopts a multi-aspect optimal approach which considers the capital cost of the newly added units, the maintenance and fuel costs, environmental impact, reliability, etc. To accommodate the growth of power load, the generation capacity needs to expand to meet the load demand. In order to find an optimal alternative to increase the generation capacity and satisfy different constraints economically and efficiently, the optimization technique is employed. The dynamic programming (DP) as the optimization method is used in this study. Since the requirements of environmental standard and power quality are getting more and more strict, economical factors are no more the unique one to weigh for the generation expansion planning. The environmental protection and reliability are also important factors of the problem. However, types of pollution are very complicated and are not easy to incorporate into the solution model. In this research, we apply the fuzzy theory to represent the state of pollution and judge if a combination of investment is acceptable or not. Moreover by employing the fuzzy technique, we can delete a lot of unnecessary paths and states to reduce the computation burden of DP. Finally we use an example to illustrate and prove the applicability and validity of the presented approach.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.
