Solving Geoseismic Problems with Soft Computing

چکیده
ABSTRACT: Soft Computing, SC, is an association of computing methodologies that includes, as its most important members, fuzzy logic, neuro computing, evolutionary computing and probabilistic computing. These tools are a great match for geoseismic applications that require the analysis of uncertain and imprecise information and where an incomplete understanding of the phenomena further compound the problem of generating models used to explain past behaviours or predict future ones. We outline the advantages of applying SC techniques (neural networks, genetic algorithms and regression trees) and in particular the synergy derived from the use of hybrid SC systems (fuzzy systems tuned by neural networks and neurogenetic models). Some successful geoseismic SC applications (the estimation of liquefaction induced lateral spread, the modelling of Mexico City ground motions, the generation of synthetic seismic signals, the prediction of peak ground accelerations from earthquake-subduction mechanisms, and the spatial variation of soil -geometrical, mechanical and physicalproperties) are described. They represent the basis for producing the technology and human resources necessary to transition from current geoseismic design methods to more scientifically-based procedures.

متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
