Faculty, staffs and all graduate students:

　　You are cordially invited to attend an academic seminar in the Auditorium on Wednesday

　　(Graduate students, please be noted that you must sign for this seminar as one of the required referred credits for a graduate student.)

　　Reporter: Dr. Marco P. Schoen

　　Mechanical Engineering, Idaho State University (ISU), USA

　　Time: 14:00-16:00, September 23, 2009

　　Title: Research on Hybrid Algorithms of Intelligent Systems at ISU

　　Location: Auditorium, Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

　　Abstract　 Intelligent systems have become of great interest in the engineering community. The possibility to solve highly constraint problems of large dimensions with multiple modes is an attractive proposition to many subject areas in engineering where optimization plays a role. The seminar will look at some of the research conducted at Idaho State University with regard to intelligent systems and its application to various engineering problems. Among the applications discussed are hybrid intelligent systems, Genetic Algorithm (GA) selection mechanisms, Particle Swarm (PSO) social network weighting, hybridization of Tabu Search (TS) with GA, intelligent systems applied to estimation and system identification, and intelligent systems based controller design.
