  7. Abstract:
  8. Recently, emotions have been widely used in systems that may face uncertainty or unknown situations. Various theories have been put forward for explaining emotions and their roles in mind. The model of emotional masks is a newly developed AI1 paradigm based on Minsky’s model of emotional mind in his recent book “The emotion machine”. This model takes a resource management approach toward modeling the mind and views different processes of mind as resources that need to be managed. The present work leads to the development of an intelligent controller (SCELIC2) that is based on ideas from emotional masks, Self-Organizing Controllers and network-based fuzzy systems. On the way to the development of SCELIC, two more controllers are also introduced; the masker controller and the SOANFIC3. The masker masks a present rule-base so that it can reduce the computations needed for the system, and SOANFIC is a further development of the Self-Organizing controllers that eliminates the need for knowledge of an incremental model and time lags in the process under control. SCELIC is a model free controller which benefits from several learning tasks. Multiple learning and the inherent adaptive structure make it a powerful adaptive and self-learning tool that performs the tasks of system identification and control in parallel. Emotions are produced in a system through a learning process, which learns to control the attention of the controller based on a performance measure. SCELIC is especially useful when we need a satisfactory response from a system in a short time and with the least computation costs
