Conventionally modelling and simulation of complex nonlinear systems has been to construct a mathematical model and examine the system’s evolution or its control. This kind of approach can fail for many of the very large non-linear and complex systems being currently studied. With the invention of new advanced high-speed computers and the application of artificial intelligence paradigms new techniques have become available. Particularly neural networks and fuzzy logic for nonlinear modelling and genetic algorithms [Goldberg, D. (1989)] and evolutionary algorithms for optimisation methods have created new opportunities to solve complex systems [Bai, Y., Zhuang H. and Wang, D. (2006)]. This paper considers issues in design of multi-layer and hierarchical fuzzy logic systems. It proposes a decomposition technique for complex systems into hierarchical and multi-layered fuzzy logic sub-systems. The learning of fuzzy rules and internal parameters in a supervised manner is performed using genetic algorithms. The decomposition of complex nonlinear systems into hierarchical and multi-layered fuzzy logic sub-systems reduces greatly the number of fuzzy rules to be defined and improves the learning speed for such systems. In this paper a method for combining subsystems to create a hierarchical and multilayer fuzzy logic system is also described. Application areas considered are - the prediction of interest rate, unemployment rate predication and electricity usage prediction. Genetic Algorithms can be used as a tool for design and generation of fuzzy rules for a fuzzy logic system. This automatic design and generation of fuzzy rules, via genetic algorithms, can be categorised into two learning techniques namely, supervised and unsupervised. In supervised learning there are two distinct phases to the operation. In the first phase each individual is assessed based on the input signal that is propagated through the system producing output respond. The actual respond produced is then compared with a desired response, generating error signals that are then used as the fitness for the individual in the population of genetic algorithms. Supervised learning has successfully applied to solve some difficult problems. In this paper design and development of a genetic algorithm based supervised learning for fuzzy models with application to several problems is considered. A hybrid integrated architecture incorporating fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm can generate fuzzy rules that can be used in a fuzzy logic system for modelling, control and prediction
