Abstract :
The methodology proposed in the paper applies artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to the modeling and control of some climate variables within a greenhouse. The nonlinear physical phenomena governing the dynamics of temperature and humidity in such systems are, in fact, difficult to model and control using traditional techniques. The paper proposes a framework for the development of soft computing-based controllers in modern greenhouses
