A hybrid evolutionary approach to intelligent system design.
The problem of developing a general methodology for system design has always been demanding. For this purpose, an evolutionary algorithm, adapted with design-specific representation data structures is devised. The representation modeling the system to be designed, is composed of three levels of abstraction: the first, is an 'abstract brain' layer - mainly a number of competing finite state machines, which in turn control the second level composed of fuzzy Petri nets; the third level constitutes...
