Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems
by George Leu Hemant Kumar Singh Saber ElsayedOver the last two decades the field of Intelligent Systems delivered to human kind significant achievements, while also facing major transformations. 20 years ago, automation and knowledge-based AI were still the dominant paradigms fueling the efforts of both researchers and practitioners. Later, 10 years ago, statistical machine intelligence was on the rise, heavily supported by the digital computing, and led to the unprecedented advances in and dependence on digital technology. However, the resultant intelligent systems remained designer-based endeavors and thus, were limited in their true learning and development abilities. Today, the challenge is to have in place intelligent systems that can develop themselves on behalf of their creators, and gain abilities with no or limited supervision in the tasks they are meant to perform. Cognitive development systems, and the supporting cognitive computing are on the rise today, promising yet other significant achievements for the future of human kind. This book captures this unprecedented evolution of the field of intelligent systems, presenting a compilation of studies that covers all research directions in the field over the last two decades, offering to the reader a broad view over the field, while providing a solid foundation from which outstanding new ideas may emerge.

Intelligente Produktions- und Fertigungsoptimierung - Der Bienenalgorithmus-Ansatz
by Duc Truong Pham Natalia HartonoDieses Buch ist das erste Werk, das sich mit dem Bienenalgorithmus beschäftigt. Nach einer sanften Einführung in die wichtigsten Ideen, die dem Algorithmus zugrunde liegen, stellt das Buch aktuelle Ergebnisse und Entwicklungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Algorithmus und seiner Anwendung auf Optimierungsprobleme in Produktion und Fertigung vor.Mit dem Beginn der vierten industriellen Revolution sind Produktions- und Fertigungsprozesse und -systeme immer komplexer geworden. Um die beste Leistung aus ihnen herauszuholen, sind effiziente und effektive Optimierungstechniken erforderlich, die nicht von der Verfügbarkeit von Prozess- oder Systemmodellen abhängen. Solche Modelle sind in der Regel entweder nicht verfügbar oder aufgrund des hohen Grades an Nichtlinearität und Unsicherheiten in den darzustellenden Prozessen und Systemen mathematisch schwer zu lösen. Der Bienenalgorithmus ist eine leistungsstarke, schwarmbasierte, intelligente Optimierungs-Metaheuristik, die vom Suchverhalten der Honigbienen inspiriert ist. Der Algorithmus ist konzeptionell elegant und extrem einfach anzuwenden. Alles, was er zur Lösung eines Optimierungsproblems benötigt, ist ein Mittel zur Bewertung der Qualität potenzieller Lösungen. Dieses Buch zeigt die Einfachheit, Effektivität und Vielseitigkeit des Algorithmus und ermutigt Ingenieure und Forscher auf der ganzen Welt, ihn weiter einzusetzen, um eine intelligente und nachhaltige Fertigung und Produktion im Zeitalter von Industrie 4.0 und darüber hinaus zu realisieren.
