In recent times, engineers have very well accepted soft computing tools such as Fuzzy Computing, Neuro-Computing, Evolutionary Computing, Probabilistic Computing, and Immunological Computing etc. for carrying out various numerical simulation studies. In last two decades, these tools independently as well as in hybrid forms has been successfully applied to varieties of problems.

The main objective of the proposed virtual lab is to introduce students about the latest Computational Intelligence Tools ( also known as soft computing tools). The training of these tools will be useful to develop rigorous applications in the engineering domain.

The experiments cover following broad areas:

Fuzzy Logic

1. Fuzzy Logic Fundamentals and Basic Operations
2. Fuzzy Inference System(FIS)
3. Fuzzy Weighted Average
4. Fuzzy Control

Artificial Neural Networks

5. Neural Networks and Perceptron
6. Multilayer Perceptron
7. Radial Basis Function
8. Probabilistic Neural Networks

Evolutionary Algorithms (EA)

9. Introduction to EA
10. Binary and Real Coded genetic Algorithms
11. Genetic Expression Programming

Probabilistic Reasoning

12. Introduction to Probabilistic Reasoning and Baayesian Networks Application

Java Runtme Environment (JRE) Installation Procedures

Step 1:

Install JAVA Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system.

Step 2:

Check the JRE version that is installed on your system.

• Open Command Prompt (Start -> Accessories -> Command Prompt).
• Type "java-version" and press enter key.

If 32-bit JRE is running on your system then it will show the following:

Otherwise if 64-bit JRE is running on your system:

Configuring Java Security Bypass

Please bypass the URL http://vlabs.iitkgp.ernet.in/ for JAVA Security reason.

To Bypass Java Security follow the following steps:

• Go to Control Panel
• Click on Java and wait few seconds to display Java Control Panel.
• Choose Security tab.
• Check Enable Java content in the browser and select security level as High
• Click on Edit Site List...
• Click on Add button for adding the URL http://vlabs.iitkgp.ernet.in/ in Exception Site List.
• After entering the URL Click on OK -> Continue -> OK

Clear browser cache (optional) and restart web browser(Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Apple Safari, etc.).

In case of Chrome browser (Version 42 and later) enable NPAPI:

1. In your URL bar, enter: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
2. Click the Enable link for the Enable NPAPI configuration option
3. Click the Relaunch button that now appears at the bottom of the configuration page.
