Intelligent control systems. An introduction with examples (Q5959190)

Dynamical systems analysis and synthesis applied to ideas of artificial intelligence are considered. These methods relate to general methods of representing dynamics, e.g. Petri nets, and different methods of handling uncertainty, especially in cases where statistics is not sufficient but human experience has a relevant role, e.g. the fuzzy concept. The description of dynamics is more meaningful by qualitative methods due to discrete changes in the status and by consistency of the materials concerned. Basic is the application of rules and logical reasoning in the analysis of phenomena and control operation. Special tools, such as programming languages for logical reasoning, shells for creating consultation systems in a special field, i.e. expert systems, should be added, too.
