Abstract :
This paper presents the random-pulse machine concept and shows how it can be used for the modular design of artificial neural networks. Random-pulse machines deal with analog variables represented by the mean rate of random-pulse streams and use simple digital technology to perform arithmetic and logic operations. As an application example, a NN is proposed for modeling of the activated sludge wastewater treatment plants
