Abstract:
The project goal is to develop advanced modelling and optimization methodologies based on biologically-inspired algorithms, as a new software product and improved algorithms, with a high-level of novelty and complexity. The main topics are: 1) Algorithms inspired from the human behaviour of learning and cooperation, 2) Algorithms inspired from human competitive behaviour, 3) Algorithms inspired from virus behaviour. Starting from a series of basic variants of some representative components from the specified classes, new, improved variants will be created, by modifications performed on the algorithms (introducing different mechanisms and operators) or by hybridizations with other algorithms (made locally or globally), applying an original automated software methodology.
The association of optimization algorithms with different models (neural networks, support vector machines etc.) determines the obtaining of complete modelling and optimization methodologies, within which the selected optimizers perform both the optimization of the model and of the process. The case studies selected in the field of polymerization processes represent consistent applications of the implemented algorithms.
This proposal, having an interdisciplinary character, is supported by a team of computer scientists and chemical engineers, working on the interface of the two fields, artificial intelligence - chemistry, with competence and experience in both areas.

Abstract:
The main goal of this proposal is to develop advanced methodologies for modelling and optimization based on biologically-inspired algorithms, as new software products and improved algorithms, with a high-level of novelty and complexity. The tools used for modelling are Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines and Instance-based regression models. For the optimization procedures, methods based on evolutionary (namely, Differential Evolution algorithm), swarm intelligence (Group Search Optimizer, Differential Search) and Bacteria behavior-Inspired algorithms are chosen. The original and novel elements consist in the development of new variants for optimization algorithms, combinations between them, elaboration of complete methodologies for modelling and optimization, and their applications to different chemical engineering processes. Polymerization processes, with phenomenology not fully clarified, are addressed as case studies, expecting that the obtained predictions to provide useful information for experimental and industrial practice.
The proposal is supported by a team of computer scientists and chemical engineers, working on the interface of the two fields, artificial intelligence – chemical engineering, with competence and experience in both areas.
Publishing the results in high level journals is an essential goal of the project, meaning the international visibility of our work. Also, the software products, registered with the Romanian Office for Copyrights, will represent important achievements for this project.
The new variants of the algorithms, the hybrid configurations of the artificial intelligence tools, and the use of bio-inspired modelling and optimization methodologies for chemical processes can be considered as new approaches, which open new fruitful directions of research and applications in this field.

Abstract:
- The main goal of this project is to obtain new software products which implement advanced modeling, optimization and control methodologies based on artificial intelligence tools (neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, fuzzy systems). These methodologies are applied to various complex processes selected from chemical engineering field, but they are designed in a such general and flexible manner that to be also useful for other processes and systems. The artificial intelligence tools are used individually or as soft computing hybrid configurations.
- The software products implementing the modeling, optimization, and control methodologies are the important deliverables of the project. An efficient technological transfer can be realized through activities performed by the partner software company.
- Besides the applied character, the present proposal has a fundamental research component being represented by a high level scientific research whose main results will be found in the published articles. The original and novel elements of this proposal are connected, mainly, to the development of new artificial intelligence algorithms, new variants and combinations among them, the elaboration of complete methodologies for modeling and optimal control and applications to various chemical processes, for which the phenomenological modeling is difficult to be applied.
-The project shall be developed as a partnership of two prestigious universities (Technical University "Gheorghe Asachi" of Iasi, as the project coordinator, and the University "Politehnica" of Timisoara), together with a software company (Romus Trading & Development SRL). The team proposed to fulfill the project objectives is composed of computer scientists and chemists working on the interface of the two fields, chemistry-artificial intelligence, with competence and experience in both areas.

Abstract:
Titanium-based biomaterials have the two major drawback: 1) poor tribology properties, and 2) poor bioactivity. To improve tribological behavior and bioactivity a wide range of surface processing methods are actually in use. Among these methods the followings stand out: 1) thermochemical surface treatments, especially nitriding; 2) plasma spray coatings; 3) electrochemical/chemical methods (anodizing, electro-deposition, biomimetic etc). The project proposes a study regarding corrosion processes of new titanium based biomaterials with micro and nanostructured surfaces in simulated body fluids using procedures of artificial intelligence through simulation based on neural networks. Will be use new metallic biomaterials from titanium alloys as coating support. Several important chemical routes will be adopted to obtain micro and nanostructurated layers on their surface. Will be studied medical implants and compared from electrochemical point of view through in vitro systems under simulated physiological conditions. Then the data obtained will be modeling using artificial neural networks. In this way, new horizons and opportunities for research will be opened as regards: 1) development of new titanium alloys, 2) optimization of surface processing methods, and 3) understanding in depth of electrochemical processes that define the corrosion behavior in simulated body fluids.
