Summary on Grant Application Form
The aim is to use Genetic Programming (GP), a methodology proposed by computer scientists and develop and extend the concept to tackle key problems within the domain of process engineering. GP performs symbolic regression, determining both the structure and the complexity of the model during evolution. This is particularly important in an industrial context, where it is normally highly desirable to gain as much information as possible about the underlying process, as well as make accurate numeric predictions. The prime deliverable will be proof that this concept will be of major benefit to the process engineering community.
