This keynote is focused on mutual intersection of interesting fields of research: bio-inspired algorithms, deterministic chaos and complex systems. The first part will discuss main principles of bioinspired methods, its historical background and its use on various examples including real world ones. Examples include plasma reactor control, optimal signal routing in the network of portable meteorological stations, complex system design as antenna design, nonlinear system and controllers design and more. Also its use on deterministic chaos control with focusing on simple chaotic systems (logistic, Hennon, . . . ) as well as CML systems exhibiting spatiotemporal chaos will be mentioned and explained. The second part will discuss use of deterministic chaos instead of pseudo-random number generators inside evolutionary algorithms with application on well known evolutionary algorithms (differential evolution, PSO, SOMA, genetic algorithms, . . . ) and test functions. Mutual comparison will be presented, based on our research. Also will be discussed question whether evolutionary dynamics really need pseudo- random numbers. At the end will be mentioned a novel approach joining evolutionary dynamics, complex networks and CML systems exhibiting chaotic behavior. Reported methodology and results are based on actual state of art (that is a part of this tutorial) as well as on our own research.
Prof. Zelinka is responsible supervisor of several grant researches of Czech grant agency GA CˇR as for example Unconventional Control of Complex Systems, Security of Mobile Devices and Communication (bilateral project between Czech and Vietnam) and cosupervisor of grant FRVŠ – Laboratory of parallel computing amongst the others. He was also working on numerous grants and two EU projects as member of team (FP5 – RESTORM) and supervisor (FP7 – PROMOEVO) of the Czech team. He is also head of research team NAVY http://navy.cs.vsb.cz/.
