Evolutionary Search for Optimization of Fuzzy Logic Controllers.
Rogério Neves, Márcio Lobo Netto · Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery · 2002
The specification of Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLC) generally requires a specialist or close collaboration with a specialist who holds the linguistic operation rules of the system. Many times perhaps the rules may be not expressed efficiently in formal means, due to complexity or excessive number of variations and/or combinations involved, but sometimes there may be no specialist at all for the system in study. For these cases, we suggest an autonomous method of definition and optimization of Fuzzy Logic Controllers, making use of heuristics, concepts of Evolutionary Search, Genetic Algorithms and Multi-Agents in determination and optimization of parameters for an automated control system.
