Design Issues of the GMDH-based Control System for Growth of Plant Species Irrigated with Processed Wastewater. Vladimir Vissikirsky, Volodymyr Stepashko, Ioannis Kalavrouziotis

Abstract. In recent applications, the GMDH methods were applied by authors to estimate different aspects of behavior of plant species irrigated with processed wastewater. The purpose of this paper is to consider general features of the control system intended to provide integral and consistent framework for carrying out and implementation of different modeling, analysis, and control tasks in the field of forest plant species and agricultural crops irrigated with processed wastewater from the Wastewater Treatment Plants. The system shall provide intelligent storage and processing of accumulated estimation models, performance criteria, control strategies, include inductive modeling, quantitative and qualitative reasoning tools, etc.

Keywords. Environment, irrigation, GMDH, control, wastewater, WWTP.
