An uncertain control framework of cloud model

Abstract

The mathematical representation of a concept with uncertainty is one of the foundations of Artificial Intelligence. Uncertain Control has been the core in VSC systems and nonlinear control systems, as the representation of Uncertainty is required. Cloud Model represents the uncertainty with expectation Ex, entropy En and Hyper-entropy He by combining Fuzziness and Randomness together. Randomness and fuzziness make uncertain control be a difficult problem, hence we propose an uncertain control framework of Cloud Model called UCF-CM to solve it. UCF-CM tunes the parameters of Ex, En and He with Cloud, Cloud Controller and Cloud Adapter to generate self-adaptive control in dealing with uncertainties. Finally, an experience of a representative application with UCF-CM is implemented by controlling the growing process of artificial plants to verify the validity and feasibility. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
