Written for graduate students and researchers, this text discusses how mimicry of biological systems can be used to solve optimization, control, and automation problems encountered in the construction of high technology systems. Topics covered include neural network substrates for control instincts, rule-based control, planning systems, gradient methods, and genetic algorithms. The Neural Network Toolbox is briefly introduced and used to solve examples on the gradient training of neural networks.
