in this paper, the application of neural networks for simulation and optimization of the cogeneration systems has been presented. cgam problem, a benchmark in cogeneration systems, is chosen as a casestudy. thermodynamic model includes precise modeling of the whole plant. for simulation of the steadysate behavior, the static neural network is applied. then using dynamic neural network, plant is...

This paper presents details of a cellular automata based neural network model which is simple enough to be implementable in evolvable hardware, allowing the growth of neural nets in nanoseconds, and the evolution of neural nets in seconds. This model and the hardware tool based upon it, should enable the birth of a new research field, called "brain building" because it will become practical to ...

This paper presents a sample of what evolved neural net circuit modules using the socalled ”CoDi-1Bit” neural net model can do. This work is part of an 8 year research project at ATR which aims to build an artificial brain containing a billion neurons by the year 2001, that will be used to control the behaviors of a kitten robot ”Robokoneko”. It looks as though the figure is more likely to be 4...
