Signal Processing Systems

Today's complex industrial and engineering systems - especially with the appearance of large-scale embedded and/or real-time systems - confront researchers and engineers with completely new challenges. Measurement and signal processing systems are involved in almost all kinds of activities in that field where control problems, system identification problems, industrial technologies, etc., are to be solved, i.e., when signals, parameters, or attributes must be measured, monitored, approximated, or determined somehow. In a large number of cases, traditional information processing tools and equipment fail to handle these problems. Not only is the handling of previously unseen spatial and temporal complexity questionable but such problems have also to be addressed such as the interaction and communication of subsystems based on entirely different modeling and information expression methods, the handling of abrupt changes within the environment and/or the processing system, the possible temporal shortage of computational power and/or loss of some data due to the former. Signal processing should even in these cases provide outputs of acceptable quality to continue the operation of the complete system, producing data for qualitative evaluations and supporting decisions. It means the introduction of new ideas for specifying, designing, implementing, and operating sophisticated signal processing systems. Intelligent - artificial intelligence, soft computing, anytime, etc. - methods are serious candidates for handling many theoretical and practical problems, providing a better description, and, in many cases, are the best if not the only alternatives for emphasizing significant aspects of system behavior. These techniques, however, are relatively new methods and up until now, not widely used in the field of signal processing because some of the critical questions related to design and verification are not answered properly and because uncertainty is maintained quite differently than in classical metrology. After the initiation of the 1999 IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Signal Processing, WISP'99, which was the first event to start linking scientific communities working in the fields of intelligent systems and signal processing and hoping that it will attract more and more scientists and engineers in these hot topics, this special issue continues this pioneering work by offering a selection of nine papers fitting into the profile of the journal from the numerous high quality ones presented at WISP'99. These excellent papers deal with different aspects of advanced computational intelligence in signal processing, including the application of neural networks, fuzzy techniques, genetic and anytime algorithms in modeling, signal processing, noise cancellation, identification, and pattern recognition, multisensorial information fusion and intelligent classification in image processing, exact and nonexact complexity reduction, and nonclassical and mixed data and uncertainty representation and handling. As an editor of this special issue, I would like to express my thanks to all of the contributors and my belief in that the excellent research results it contains provide the basis for further strengthening and spreading of advanced computational intelligence in signal processing opening wide possibilities for new theoretical and practical achievements.

The current issue contains 12 papers presented at the <I>IEEE 9th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems (INES 2005), Cruising on the Mediterranean Sea</I>, on September 16-19, 2005, and <I>3rd Serbian-Hungarian Joint Symposium on Intelligent Systems (SISY 2005), in Subotica, Serbia and Montenegro</I>, on August 31-September 1, 2005. The topics of the two conferences are very close to each other and regard Intelligent Systems both from practical and theoretical point of view. These successful conferences brought together active participants and joined researchers from several countries working on this very quickly developing, more and more important field. After a preliminary selection made by the section chairs and the International Program Committees, we have selected 12 papers to be published in extended form in the current Special Issue of the <I>Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics</I>. We would like to express our thanks to our sponsors, the organizers and mainly to the participants, who made these scientific events possible. Also, we express our thanks to the Editors of the Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, for publishing this Special Issue. In the following we briefly describe each paper. A. Almeida, G. Marreiros present a model to support collaborative scheduling in complex dynamic manufacturing environments. This model considers the interaction between an Agent based Scheduling Module and a Group Decision Support Module. P. Baranyi, Z. Petres, P. L. Várkonyi, P. Korondi and Y. Yam study in their paper how the Tensor Product model transformation is capable of determining different types of convex hulls of the Linear Time Invariant models. The study is conducted through the example of the prototypical aeroelastic wing section. B. Bede, H. Nobuhara, J. Fodor and K. Hirota propose the study of the problem if usual sum and product can be substituted by max and product operations in defining approximation operators. In this sense max-product Shepard approximation operators are defined and studied. B. Benyó, P. Somogyi and B. Paláncz address the problem of classification of cerebral blood flow signals in order to identify the disorders of the cerebral circulation. The experimental results provided in the paper confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods. J. Gáti and Gy. Kártyás propose a model based distance learning in the every day higher education practice in their contribution. They survey some important issues and methodological elements of virtual classrooms in comparison with demands for teaching procedures, programs, and materials. L. Horváth and I. J. Rudas propose a methodology for intelligent communication and change management for engineering modeling. This study motivated by increasing of importance of change management because of continuous product development. M. Maleković and M. Čubrilo describe in their contribution how to incorporate infatuation in multi-agent systems. Infatuation stands for the focusing on a single attractive or desirable characteristic of another agent and then considering the total agent as that one positive characteristic. E. Pap and M. Takács study two dimensional copulas as binary aggregation operators in their paper. Invariant copulas and an application of copulas in the theory of aggregation operators are discussed and a result on approximation of associative copulas by strict and nilpotent triangular norms is obtained. B. Reskó, Á. Csapó and P. Baranyi present in their contribution a visual cortex inspired cognitive model for contour and vertex detection. The contour detection and vertex extraction is performed by a vast network of simple units of computation simultaneously processing the visual data. The computational units are organized in a special structure, the Visual Feature Array. M. Takács addresses investigation of the problem of the approximate reasoning in the fuzzy systems, by reviewing a specific case, where the investigated structure is a real semi-ring with pseudo-operations. It is the investigation of special-type fuzzy sets, special g-generated t-norms and implications in approximate reasoning. J. K. Tar, I. J. Rudas and A. Rontó present in their paper a simple adaptive controller that creates only temporal and situation dependent system model. The temporal model can be built up and maintained step-by-step on the basis of slow elimination of fading information by the use of simple updating rules consisting of finite algebraic steps of lucid geometric interpretation. A. R. Várkonyi-Kóczy, A. Rövid and P. Várlaki present a new fuzzy based tone reproduction pre-processing algorithm which may help in developing the hardly or non-viewable features and content of the images making easier the further processing of it.

We are witnessing a rapidly growing interest in the field of advanced computational intelligence, a "soft computing" technique. As Prof. Zadeh has stated, soft computing integrates fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation, and chaos. Soft computing is the most important technology available for designing intelligent systems and control. The difficulties of fuzzy logic involve acquiring knowledge from experts and finding knowledge for unknown tasks. This is related to design problems in constructing fuzzy rules. Neural networks and genetic algorithms are attracting attention for their potential in raising the efficiency of knowledge finding and acquisition. Combining the technologies of fuzzy logic and neural networks and genetic algorithms, i.e., soft computing techniques will have a tremendous impact on the fields of intelligent systems and control design. To explain the apparent success of soft computing, we must determine the basic capabilities of different soft computing frameworks. Give the great amount of research being done in these fields, this issue addresses fundamental capabilities. This special issue is devoted to advancing computational intelligence in control theory and applications. It contains nine excellent papers dealing with advanced computational intelligence in control theory and applications such as fuzzy control and stability, mobile robot control, neural networks, gymnastic bar action, petroleum plant control, genetic programming, Petri net, and modeling and prediction of complex systems. As editor of this special issue, I believe that the excellent research results it contains provide the basis for leadership in coming research on advanced computational intelligence in control theory and applications.
