Ziegler-Nichols methods give estimated values for these parameters based on the system's transient response. Therefore, a fine tuning of these parameters is required to improve the system's behaviour. In this work, genetic programming is used to optimise the three parameters Kp , Ti and Td , after been tuned by Ziegler-Nichols method, to control a high-order process, a large time delay plant and a highly non-minimum phase process. The results were compared to some other tuning methods, and showed to be promising.}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/conf/icnc/icnc2005-3.html#AlmeidaSNY05}, size = {10 pages}, bibdate = {2005-08-01}, isbn = {3-540-28320-X}, doi = {doi:10.1007/11539902_37}, keywords = {algorithms, genetic programming } }
