Invitation to submit a paper at IEEE WCCI 2014 - FUZZ-IEEE 2014
SS FZ03 - Adaptive fuzzy control for nonlinear time-delay systems control

The aim of this special session is to present the state-of-the-art results in the area of adaptive intelligent control theory and applications and to get together researchers in this area. Adaptive control is a technique of applying some methods to obtain a model of the process and using this model to design a controller. Especially, fuzzy adaptive control has been an important area of active research. Significant developments have been seen, including theoretical success and practical design. One of the reasons for the rapid growth of fuzzy adaptive control is its ability to control plants with uncertainties during its operation.
The papers in this special session present the most advanced techniques and algorithms of adaptive control. These include various robust techniques, performance enhancement techniques, techniques with less a-priori knowledge and nonlinear intelligent adaptive control techniques. This special session aims to provide an opportunity for international researchers to share and review recent advances in the foundations, integration architectures and applications of hybrid and adaptive systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Time-Delay Nonlinear Systems
• Adaptive and learning control theory
• Adaptive control of processes
• Data based auto-tuning of the controller
• Estimation and identification and its application to control design
• Fuzzy Applications
• Fuzzy Modeling and Simulation
• Cooperative Control
• Hybrid Intelligent Control
• Modeling and Simulation
• Knowledge based control systems
• Fuzzy Self-Organizing Controllers
• Adaptive Fuzzy Control Design
• Nonlinear Systems
• Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Controller
• Hybrid adaptive fuzzy control
• Robust adaptive fuzzy control
• Adaptive fuzzy sliding-mode control
