THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION
(15th -28th September, 2008)
Download Course Catalogue
 
INTRODUCTION
Soft and evolutionary computings are two emerging areas of computational intelligence which find extensive applications in all branches of engineering including economics and management. The present short term course aims to introduce this new emerging area starting from fundamentals and will include the relevant theory and practical classes through MATLAB simulation .The course contents will be taught by eminent experts in the field and having adequate teaching and research experience. The typical course content will include adaptive systems, various types of artificial neural networks (ANN), fuzzy logic (FL), neuro fuzzy techniques (NF), and genetic algorithms (GA), bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), particle swarm optimization (PSO) , ant colony algorithm (ACO), artificial immune system (AIS) and gene regulatory networks (GRN). The application areas will include telecommunication, control, instrumentation, finance, robotics and biomedical engineering. Illustrations will cover time series prediction, function approximation, forecasting of financial data, direct and inverse modeling of nonlinear system and noise filtering.
