This paper is a new step in the development of the Linguistic Geometry. This formal theory is intended to discover the inner properties of human expert heuristics, which have been successful in a certain class of complex control systems, and apply them to different systems. The Linguistic Geometry relies on the formalization of search heuristics of the highly-skilled human experts, which allow ...

This report contains the paper that was accepted for presentation at EUFIT '96, the Fourth European Congress on Intelligent Techniques and Soft Computing, Aachen, Germany, September 2-5, 1996. In the paper, two case studies, performed at NLR and investigating the applicability of genetic algorithms in complex optimisation problems, are presented. The first case study concerns the use of algorit...

In the aerospace industry, a significant effort is being made to replace metal components with more structurally efficient composite components to reduce mass, weight, and improve the reliability of aerospace fluid systems. Osprey Technologies and Convergence Engineering Corporation have teamed to develop various composite highpressure lines and fittings for composite-to-metal transition hardwa...
