In this paper, the design of explicit rate-based congestion control in high speed communication networks is considered. At a bottleneck node, there are multiple best-effort sources competing with other high priority cross traffic sources. The goal of congestion control is to achieve high link utilization, low packet loss, low delay, and fairness among the best-effort sources. In this paper, the high priority traffic is described by an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) process. To deal with the propagation delays associated with the best-effort sources, model predictive control, particularly, generalized predictive control, techniques are proposed to solve the congestion problem here. It is demonstrated that the proposed controller performs well and is robust to delay uncertainties. In addition, in a multiple-nodes configuration, the controller provides max-min fairness.

This paper presents an approach to the well-known traveling salesman problem (TSP) via competitive neural networks. The neural network model adopted in this work is the Kohonen network or self-organizing maps (SOM), which has important topological information about its neurons configuration. This paper is concerned with the initialization aspects, parameters adaptation, and the complexity analysis of the proposed algorithm. The modified SOM algorithm proposed in this paper has shown better results when compared with others neural network based approaches to the TSP.

An essential factor in understanding the motor learning capability of humans, is the coordinate transformation learning of the visual feedback controller. Although a number of learning models for the visual feedback controller have been proposed, none has been able to establish a definitive approach. In our previous work, we have suggested a learning model that uses disturbance noise and the feedback error signal to learn the human visual feedback controller's coordinate transformation. However, the model does not fully consider the time delay in the visual feedback control loop. This paper presents a modified learning model taking into account the time delay and the convergence properties of the model. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we develop an architecture for a novel type of neural network which is known as simultaneous recurrent neural networks (SRNNs). Using this novel neural architecture, we propose a statistical approximation learning (SAL) method. The SRNNs have the capability to approximate non-smooth functions which cannot be approximated by using conventional multilayer perceptrons. However, most of the learning methods for the SRNNs are computationally expensive due to their inherent recursive calculations. To solve this problem, as an approximation learning method, the SAL method is proposed by using a statistical relation between the time-series of the network outputs and the network configuration parameters. Simulation results show that SRNNs trained by the proposed SAL method can learn a strongly nonlinear function efficiently within a practical computation time.

In this paper, a method for automatic construction of a fuzzy rule-based system from numerical data using the Incremental Learning Fuzzy Neural (ILFN) network and the Genetic Algorithm is presented. The ILFN network was developed for pattern classification applications. The ILFN network, which employed fuzzy sets and neural network theory, equips with a fast, one-pass, on-line, and incremental learning algorithm. After trained, the ILFN network stored numerical knowledge in hidden units, which can then be directly interpreted into if then rule bases. However, the rules extracted from the ILFN network are not in an optimized fuzzy linguistic form. In this paper, a knowledge base for fuzzy expert system is extracted from the hidden units of the ILFN classifier. A genetic algorithm is then invoked, in an iterative manner, to reduce number of rules and select only discriminate features from input patterns needed to provide a fuzzy rule-based system. Three computer simulations using a simulated 2-D 3-class data, the well-known Fisher's Iris data set, and the Wisconsin breast cancer data set were performed. The fuzzy rule-based system derived from the proposed method achieved 100% and 97.33% correct classification on the 75 patterns for training set and 75 patterns for test set, respectively. For the Wisconsin breast cancer data set, using 400 patterns for training and 299 patterns for testing, the derived fuzzy rule-based system achieved 99.5% and 98.33% correct classification on the training set and the test set, respectively.
