However, it is well known that alternatives for constructing modular structures may exist in any level of abstraction. Explicit considerations of alternative structures invoke changes in the number of module instances so that lower capital investment in modules, more independency of structures and higher efficiency can be achieved. Relatively few research papers that deal with the optimization of modular structures problem with alternative assembly combinations aiming at minimization of module investments were found in the literature. A genetic algorithm (GA) was applied to solve the optimization problem of selecting and combining the alternative of modular structures to create a set of modular structures minimizing the cost involved in its implementation. Test results are presented and the performance of the proposed GA is compared with solutions obtained from total enumeration tests.

The anchovy catches data is denoised by using discrete stationary wavelet transform and then appropriate is used as inputs to the MP. The MP's parameters are estimated using the penalized least square (LS) method and the performance evaluation of the proposed forecaster showed that a 98% of the explained variance was captured with a reduced parsimony.

In CP, Enumeration Strategies are crucial for resolution performances. In this work, we model the known benchmark problems Latin Square, Magic Square and Sudoku as a Constraint Satisfaction Problems. We solve them with Constraint Programming comparing the performance of di erent Variable and Value Selection Heuristics in its Enumeration phase.

The software agents are programs that can perceive from their environment and they act to reach their design goals. In most cases the selected agent architecture determines its behaviour in response to different problem states. However, there are some problem domains in which it is desirable that the agent learns a good action execution policy by interacting with its environment. This kind of learning is called Reinforcement Learning (RL) and is useful in the process control area. Given a problem state, the agent selects the adequate action to do and receives an immediate reward. Then it actualizes its estimations about every action and, after a certain period of time, the agent learns which the best action to execute is. Most RL algorithms execute simple actions even if two o more can be executed. This work involves the use of RL algorithms to find an optimal policy in a gridworld problem and proposes a mechanism to combine actions of different types.
