Computational Intelligence in Systems and Control Design and Applications

The field of computational intelligence (CI) has expandedrapidly during recent years with a large and still increasing range ofapplications. This book contains a cohesive set of thirtycontributions that cover a wide, well-selected range of topics. Thebook is organized in the following five parts: Parts I-IV include general overviews, new techniques andpractical CI algorithms for system analysis, identification, optimization and control, and Part V contains nine importantapplications of CI dealing with robot control, collision avoidance ofdangerous ships, automated visual inspection, control of fed-batchbioprocesses, identification of naval turbochargers, semi-activesuspension design of ground vehicles, ecological populations'modeling, vehicle navigation, state estimation of electric powersystems, and multi-robot cooperative control.The book can be used as a reference volume by researchers andpractitioners in the field, and as a rich unified information sourceby teachers and students in related postgraduate programs, thus savingconsiderable time in searching the scattered literature in the field.G. Tzafestas, Spyros is the author of 'Computational Intelligence in Systems and Control Design and Applications' with ISBN 9781402003943 and ISBN 1402003943.
