This paper presents a combined model approach of Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm applied for non-linear behavioral compensation of Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR), for its improved performance (optimal variable output voltage). The optimized parametric compensation of SCR will be done by amalgamated algorithm of Fuzzy Logic Control and Genetic Algorithm. It is a shift from existing practice of Fuzzy Logic based control /compensation, as reported in the literature. In this work, a Fuzzy Logic based optimal control system has been developed for input voltage regulation of SCR, which is further optimized by Genetic Algorithm. The input voltage regulation of SCR is needed to meet the varying load current demand in various industrial applications of the device. The proposed scheme as presented in this paper leads to the optimal regulation of input voltage for SCR. The results have shown a remarkable reduction in the error which was otherwise existing in the device and its application circuit. The accuracy level at the output of the SCR after the implementation of the proposed amalgamated algorithm is ranging between 99.0 to 99.5%. It also suits the nonlinearly varying load current requirement for a given industrial system employing SCR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic theory to the reconstruction of solid models from engineering drawings. In engineering drawing, two-dimensional (2D) orthographic projections represent an object ambiguously, it requires a numerous amount of combinatorial searches in the process of reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) drawing. This paper proposes an algorithm which applies fuzzy logic to identify the category of the object in order to implement the further operations. Once an object has been classified to be either rotational or prismatic the major operation of either revolve or extrude will be executed correspondingly to generate the 3D solid model. Compared with earlier approaches, the present method focuses on ambiguous issues which improve the efficiency of the reconstruction process. A program has been compiled to implement the present algorithm which has proved to be very practicable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a detailed comparison between a conventional PI controller and a variable structure controller based on a fuzzy sliding mode strategy used for speed control in direct torque control induction motor drive. Genetic algorithms are used to tune the PI controller gains to ensure optimal performance. The performance of the two controllers are investigated and compared for different dynamic operating conditions such as of reference speed and for load torque step changes at nominal parameters and in the presence of parameter variation and imprecision. Results show that the PI controller has better performance for nominal operating conditions while the fuzzy sliding mode is more robust against parameter variation and uncertainty, and is less sensitive to external load torque disturbances with a fast dynamic response.

In order to be successful in multi-agent electronic negotiating environments, intelligent agents should be capable of adapting their negotiation strategies and tactics so that they can achieve an agreement with optimized profit. In this paper, some findings are going to be shown in which negotiating intelligent agents in electronic commerce start negotiating using a simplified standard protocol in conjunction with a combined negotiation. Taking advantage of a new developed evolutionary algorithm, agents configure their negotiation strategies somehow they can get more profit. They can use fuzzy fairness function to behavior with fairness or without fairness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
