The chosen filter design technique is based on frequency-sampling (where the Fourier transform magnitudes of the filter are the objective variables). Design is simplified by constraining most of these values, leaving only a small number of values in the filter transition band to be optimized. The EP algorithms were used to determine the optimum values for this subset of values. Since there is an additional monotonic constraint on the transition band values, a modification to the EP algorithms was developed called variable limits evolutionary programming. Results indicate that a) both EP algorithms were insensitive to initial conditions, and reliably found the minimum values of the chosen objective functions, and b) the designed prototype filters are suitable to obtain near-perfect reconstruction filter banks, offering quality parameters comparable or better than systems obtained using other techniques. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4133048&userType=inst Thu Sep 1 15:53:04 2011 Evolutionary Design of Digital Filters with Application to Sub-band Coding and Data Transmission Abstract --- In this paper, two evolutionary programming (EP) algorithms (classical EP and fast EP) are applied to design Thu Sep 1 15:49:10 2011 A Novel and Practicable On-chip Adaptive Lossless Image Compression Scheme Using Intrinsic Evolvable Hardware Abstract --- Adaptive lossless image compression is one of the most important applications in the field of evolvable hardware (EHW). However, related studies in the past focused on implementations with extrinsicEHW, which uses a host computer to run software simulation and compiling, and then download the final circuit to the silicon chip. This is not suitable for tasks of on-chip adaptation. This paper presents a novel technique to reformulate the problem as a task of evolving a set of switches. As a result, the whole scheme can be implemented easily using intrinsic EHW. In order to enhance the scalability of the whole scheme, a strategy based on data-decomposition and pyramidal fitness evaluation strategy is developed for evolving larger scale images. Software simulation shows that the proposed method can largely reduce the computation time, and can scale up the image size up to 70 times with relatively slow increase in computation time. Hardware simulation shows that the method can be applied in practice. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1392483 Thu Sep 1 15:40:27 2011 CEC 2011 Paper Deadline Extended!
