Applications of Neural Networks in High Assurance Systems

"Applications of Neural Networks in High Assurance Systems" is the first book directly addressing a key part of neural network technology: methods used to pass the tough verification and validation (V&V) standards required in many safety-critical applications. The book presents what kinds of evaluation methods have been developed across many sectors, and how to pass the tests. A new adaptive structure of V&V is developed in this book, different from the simple six sigma methods usually used for large-scale systems and different from the theorem-based approach used for simplified component subsystems.

State of the art of Neural Networks in real-world, safety-critical systems Presents Neural Network applications in safety related areas, ranging from aerospace industry and steam power turbines to the automotive industry Provides a better understanding of the practical requirements for developing and deploying neuro-adaptive systems
