This paper analyzes the evolutionary process of a fuzzy logic controller using evolutionary activity. An evolutionary algorithm is commonly used to find solutions for given problems. However, little has been done on the analysis of the evolutionary pathways to the optimal solutions. This paper uses a genetic algorithm to construct a fuzzy logic controller for a mobile robot and applies evolutionary activity to measure the adaptability quantitatively. Evolutionary activity can be defined as the rate at which useful genetic innovations are absorbed in the population. By measuring the evolutionary activities, we will show quantitatively that the optimal fuzzy logic controller is not from other genetic phenomena like chance or necessity, but from the adaptability to a given encironment.

Evolutionary operation is a useful tool for improving full-scale manufacturing process by systematically changing the levels of the process variables without jeopardizing the product. This paper presents a system design for the evolutionary operation software called 'evolutionary optimizer'. Evolutionary optimizer consists of four modules: factorial design, many variables, mixture, and mean/dispersion. Context diagram, data flow diagram and entity-relationship modelling are used to systematically design the evolutionary optimizer system.

It is very important to study displacement prediction in geotechnical engineering. Nowadays, the grey system method, time series analysis method and artificial neural network method are three main methods. Based on the brief introduction, the three methods are analyzed comprehensively. Their merits and demerits, applied ranges are revealed. To solve the shortcomings of the artificial neural network method, a new prediction method based on new evolutionary neural network is proposed. Finally, through two real engineering applications, the analysis of three main methods and the new evolutionary neural network method all have been verified. The results show that, the grey system method is a kind of exponential approximation to displacement sequence, and time series analysis is linear autoregression approximation, while artificial neural network is nonlinear autoregression approximation. Thus, the grey system method can suitably analyze the sequence, which has the exponential law, the time series method can suitably analyze the random sequence and the neural network method almostly can be applied in any sequences. Moreover, the prediction results of new evolutionary neural network method is the best, and its approximation sequence and the generalization prediction sequence are all coincided with the real displacement sequence well. Thus, the new evolutionary neural network method is an acceptable method to predict the measurement displacements of geotechnical engineering.

In this paper, the evolutionary adaptive wavelet transform(EAWT) is applied to the scattering analysis of radar target. EAWT algorithm uses evolutionary programming for the time-frequency parameter extraction instead of FFT and the bisection search method used in the conventional adaptive wavelet transform(AWT). Therefore, the EAWT has a better performance than the conventional AWT. In the simulation using wire target(Airbus-like), the comparisons with the conventional AWT are presented to show the superiority of the EAWT algorithm in the analysis of scattering phenomenology. The EAWT can be effectively applied to the radar target recognition.

This paper reviews the emerging literature on innovation policy from a practitioner's perspective, reviews the policy implications of an evolutionary perspective in economics, and identifies newly emerging areas of innovation policy analysis. We show that an innovation system is a dominant policy discourse, that there are limits of policy implications from an evolutionary perspective, and that there is a need for explicitly policy motivated analysis grounded in a broad evolutionary perspective. Innovation policy studies are an area in pre-paradigmatic stages whose dynamism originates from the interaction of theory, policy, and policy learning. The limited usefulness of policy implications derived directly from either conceptual or empirical analysis requires more explicitly policy focused research.

It has been established that a crack has an important effect on the dynamic behavior of a structure. This effect depends mainly on the location and depth of the crack. Toidentifythelocation and depth of a crack in a structure, a method is presented in this paper which uses neuro-fuzzy-evolutionary technique, that is, Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) solved via hybrid learning algorithm (the back-propagation gradient descent and the least-squares method) and Continuous Evolutionary Algorithms (CEAs) solving sir ale objective optimization problems with a continuous function and continuous search space efficiently are unified. With this ANFIS and CEAs, it is possible to formulate the inverse problem. ANFIS is used to obtain the input(the location and depth of a crack) - output(the structural Eigenfrequencies) relation of the structural system. CEAs are used to identify the crack location and depth by minimizing the difference from the measured frequencies. We have tried this new idea on beam structures and the results are promising.

In this paper, we proposed a new design methodology of a pattern classification rule based on the local linear discriminant analysis expanded from the generic linear discriminant analysis which is used in the local area divided from the whole input space. There are two ways such as k-Means clustering method and the differential evolutionary algorithm to partition the whole input space into the several local areas. K-Means clustering method is the one of the unsupervised clustering methods and the differential evolutionary algorithm is the one of the optimization algorithms. In addition, the experimental application covers a comparative analysis including several previously commonly encountered methods.

A competitive coevolutionary algorithm is a probabilistic search method that imitates coevolution process through evolutionary arms race. The algorithm has been used to solve adversarial problems. In the algorithms, the selection of competitors is needed to evaluate the fitness of an individual. The goal of this study is to compare and analyze several competition strategies in terms of solution quality, convergence speed, balance between competitive coevolving species, population diversity, etc. With two types of test-bed problems, game problems and solution-test problems, extensive experiments are carried out. In the game problems, sampling strategies based on fitness have a risk of providing bad solutions due to evolutionary unbalance between species. On the other hand, in the solution-test problems, evolutionary unbalance does not appear in any strategies and the strategies using information about competition results are efficient in solution quality. The experimental results indicate that the tournament competition can progress an evolutionary arms race and then is successful from the viewpoint of evolutionary computation.

Many time-frequency analysis techniques have been used for motion compensated ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) imaging. In this work, a novel time-frequency(T-F) analysis called evolutionary adaptive wavelet transform (EAWT) and evolutionary adaptive joint time-frequency(EAJTF) procedure are used for the motion compensated ISAR image. To show the validity of our algorism, we use simulated MIG-25 and Boeing 727(B-727) ISAR data. From the constructed ISAR image using EAWT and EAJTF, we show that our algorithm can obtain a clear motion compensated ISAR image such as other time-frequency analysis techniques.

In this study, optimization design technique for control of solid-fluid coupled force (sloshing) using evolutionary method is suggested. Artificial neural networks(ANN) and genetic algorithm(GA) is employed as evolutionary optimization method. The ANN is used to analysis of the sloshing and the genetic algorithm is adopted as an optimization algorithm. In the creation of ANN learning data, the design of experiments is adopted to higher performance of the ANN learning using minimum learning data and ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) numerical method is used to obtain the sloshing analysis results. The proposed optimization technique is applied to the minimization of sloshing of the water in the tank lorry with baffles under 2 second lane change.
