Tourism planning informatization

The Tourism activity, due to its own characteristics, causes high environmental impact and its development should be influenced by the environmental characteristics of each region. The Information Systems, mainly those which represent the geographical information, will permit the development of a design, allowing the Decision-Maker the consult, the management and the presentation of decision schemes based on the defined measures of the Tourism Planning of a region. As the information associated with this design should be real and update, the Internet should be used as a means of access to the information of the region. The design presents the schemes associated to each decision, offering competitive advantages to the Decision-Makers involved in the decision process, since it is possible to evaluate, foresee and control the future environmental impacts of Tourism.

GIS on tourism planning: preventing the impacts caused by the developing tourism activity in a specific site

The environment is one of the greatest concerns of humankind. Nowadays, the activities which improve or destroy it must be assessed and controlled by efficient means which should permit the control of environmental impact caused by the development of these activities. This document presents an information system implementation, as a Decision Support system, allowing the Decision Maker to evaluate, foresee and control the future environmental impact of Tourism through consultation, the management and the presentation of decision schemes based on defined measures of a regional tourism planning.

An overview of nonlinear identification and control with neural networks.

The aim of this chapter is to introduce background concepts in nonlinear systems identification and control with artificial neural networks. As this chapter is just an overview, with a limited page space, only the basic ideas will be explained here. The reader is encouraged, for a more detailed explanation of a specific topic of interest, to consult the references given throughout the text. Additionally, as general books in the field of neural networks, the books by Haykin [1] and Principe et al. [2] are suggested. Regarding nonlinear systems identification, covering both classical and neural and neuro-fuzzy methodologies, Reference 3 is recommended. References 4 and 5 should be used in the context of B-spline networks.

Remote data acquisition system of environmental data

The implementation of an accurate and reliable data acquisition system is the first step to develope a good control system. This data acquisition should provide valuable data readings, not only for control purposes but also for applications in different research areas.

Training neuro-fuzzy models using evolution based algorithms

The normal design process for neural networks or fuzzy systems involve two different phases: the determination of the best topology, which can be seen as a system identification problem, and the determination of its parameters, which can be envisaged as a parameter estimation problem. This latter issue, the determination of the model parameters (linear weights and interior knots) is the simplest task and is usually solved using gradient or hybrid schemes. The former issue, the topology determination, is an extremely complex task, especially if dealing with real-world problems.
