Special Session on Soft Computing for Intelligent Control
Session Chairs:

Tijuana Institute of Technology, Mexico
Abstract:
This Special Session will consist of papers that integrate different Soft Computing (SC) methodologies in the design of hybrid intelligent systems for intelligent control of non-linear dynamical systems. SC methodologies at the moment include Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, Genetic Algorithms and Chaos Theory. Each of these methodologies has advantages and disadvantages and many problems have been solved, by using one of these methodologies. However, many real-world complex industrial problems require the integration of several of these methodologies to really achieve the efficiency and accuracy needed in practice. In this Special Session, an overview of SC methodologies, and their applications to modeling, simulation and control, will be given in an introductory paper by the Organizers. Then, detailed methods for integrating the different SC methodologies and neural networks in solving real-world problems will be given in the papers by the other authors in the Special Session. The Special Session will include applications on the following areas: Robotic Dynamic Systems, Non-linear Plants, and Manufacturing Systems.
Topics of interest (not limited to):
- Successful new applications to real-world problems of soft computing techniques that are found to achieve better results than conventional techniques. In this case, special attention should be given to the metrics used to compare SC techniques with conventional ones.
- Developments of innovative hybrid methods combining SC techniques and conventional techniques to solve problems related to modeling, simulation and control of non-linear dynamical systems. In this case, the problems to be considered in these papers may not be as complex as the ones in the previous point, but the authors have to explain very carefully how their proposed method could be used, in the future, to solve real-world problems.
- Papers considering original research on new neural network techniques are also welcome, but the authors would have to make a detailed description of how their proposed approach is compared with other related techniques.
