One of the main challenges of any related paradigms in systems engineering is being able to handle complex systems under unforeseen uncertainties. A system may be called complex if its dimension (order) is too high and its model (if available) is nonlinear, interconnected, and information on the system is so uncertain that classical techniques cannot easily handle the problem. A system of systems (SoS) is a "super system," or an integration of complex systems coordinated together in such a way as to achieve a wider set of goals with possible higher significance such as global warming, Mars missions, air traffic control, global earth observation system, etc. Computational Intelligence or Soft Computing, a consortium of fuzzy logic (approximate reasoning), neuro-computing (learning), genetic algorithms and genetic programming (optimization), has proven to be a powerful set of tools for adding autonomy and semi-autonomy to many complex systems. For such systems the size of soft computing control architecture will be nearly infinite. In this presentation, paradigms using soft computing approaches are utilized to design autonomouscontroller with controller reuse for a number of space applications. The notion of adaptation in autonomouscontroller reuse can be handled via intelligent tools to add on additional capabilities in real-time scenarios. Learning from past experience is but one such scenario for the reuse of autonomouscontrollers. These applications include satellite array formations, robotic agents and the Virtual Laboratory (V-LAB®) for multi-physics modeling and simulation. A view of the future activities of the NASA JPL for space exploration will also be given. SoS concepts will be described and a few testbed cases will be introduced, including a robotic swarm with dynamic sensor networks for homeland security at UTSA ace Center. Some animated and experimental implementation movies will be shown.

Three individual experts have been developed based on extended auto associative neural networks (E-AANN), Kohonen self organizing maps (KSOM), and the radial basis function based clustering (RBFC) algorithms. An integrated method is proposed later to combine the set of individual experts managed by a gated experts algorithm, which assigns the experts based on their best performance regions. We have used a Matlab Simulink model of a chiller system and applied the individual experts and the integrated method to detect and recover sensor errors. It has been shown that the integrated method gets better performance in diagnostics and prognostics compared with each individual expert.

In this paper cardiovascular dynamics, which refers to the dynamic relationship among the heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (ABP) and instantaneous lung volume (ILV), is identified through a novel combination approach that consists of a set of linear auto-regression (AR) equations and nonlinear fuzzy-neural inference. Based on linear assumption of cardiovascular system, auto-regressive and moving average method (ARMA) has been popular approaches to identify the complex cardio-system in recent years. Fuzzy set theory is very suitable to systems with uncertainties such as the cardiovascular dynamic system with expert knowledge. Fuzzy- Neural inference paradigm imports the auto-learning property into fuzzy logic engine, therefore extracts some knowledge from data automatically. An effective hybrid approach, which has parallel modular structure of AR and Fuzzy-neural inference, becomes feasible IO interpret physiologically linear component of heart function and nonlinear nervous regulation component respectively. Details of proposed combination method as well as subjects' study results are presented in this paper.

This work presents a new application of a data-clustering algorithm in Landsat image classification, which improves on conventional classification methods. Neural networks have been widely used in Landsat image classification because they are unbiased by data distribution. However, they need long training times for the network to get satisfactory classification accuracy. The data-clustering algorithm is based on fuzzy inferences using radial basis functions and clustering in input space. It only passes training data once so it has a short training tune. It can also generate fuzzy classification, which is appropriate in the case of mixed, intermediate or complex cover pattern pixels. This algorithm is applied in the land cover classification of Landsat 7 ETM+ over the Rio Rancho area, New Mexico. It is compared with back-propagation neural network (BPNN) to illustrate its effectiveness and concluded that it can get a better classification using shorter training time.

With the emerging applications of multi-agent systems, there is always a need for simulation to verify the results before actual implementation. Multi-agent simulation provides a test bed for several soft-computing algorithms like fuzzy logic, learning automata, evolutionary algorithms, etc. In this paper we discuss the fusion of these soft-computing methodologies and existing tools for discrete event simulation (DEVS) for multi-agent simulation. We propose a methodology for combining the agent-based architecture, discrete event system and soft-computing methods in the simulation of multi-agent robotics and network security system. We also define a framework called Virtual Laboratory (V-Lab/spl reg/) for multi-agent simulation using intelligent tools.

Delay in the computation of the signal-to-interference ratio in communication systems is unavoidable. In the the case of mobile communication, delay is a very critical problem due the fast variation of the communication channel and the need for effective, fast and accurate power control. In this paper we present our approach to dealing with the delay in mobile communication systems as well as our controller to achieve and maintain the desired signal quality. We will concentrate on the code division multiple access (CDMA) systems.
