Object-oriented design and multiresolution in intelligent control

Intelligent control (IC) tasks are naturally formalized in terms of object-oriented design and programming. However, the software are often not reusable. Inheritance and other relations are so specific that they do not lead to selection of the most appropriate intelligent control method. We develop methodology and prototypes of reusable C++ classes for intelligent control tasks related to fuzzy control. These classes incorporate several members: to set components, generate, tune and optimize control functions, and arrange sensor input and output control signals to be executed by external devices. This is based on object-oriented programming combined with the multiresolution approach, and discovers relations between fuzzy control and classical interpolation. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated with one of the manufacturing processes.
