VHDL design automation using evolutionary computation

In this paper, a method of automatic controller design for electronic control systems is described. In order to automate the design of an electronic controller, an evolutionary computation is applied. First, the framework for applying the genetic algorithm to the automation of controller design is described. In particular, the coding of a chromosome is shown in detail. Then, how to make a fitness function is represented, with an air conditioner as an example, and the controller of the air conditioner is developed automatically using our proposed framework. Finally, an evolutionary simulation is performed to confirm our framework.
