Abstract
It was of some surprise, after listening to all the contributions, to conclude that nothing had been said about the theory and application of extremum-seeking devices based on Evolutionary Operation EVOP and its associated modifications such as SIMPLEX and COMPLEX. In many real control systems the values of the measured variables are obtained at discrete intervals of time, which may be of the order of minutes, and consequently there may be considerable delay in the evaluation of the Performance Index. Many of the continuous-perturbation methods proposed at the Symposium do not lend themselves to systems of the former type, and it is thus desirable to be aware of alternative methods of control.
