Nontraditional methods for solving EMI problems

In this paper an attempt has been made on how some of the modern techniques of engineering design can be useful in modeling, prediction and analysis in EMI related aspects. The techniques covered in the paper include genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, artificial neural networks and fractal modeling. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part presents an outline of the methodologies of the techniques. The explanation has been kept brief. The second part discusses usage of the above techniques in certain specific areas related to EMI/EMC.
