Abstract
The present work evaluates the use of the evolutionary programming in problems of Industrial Automation. It is well known that technical of the evolutionary calculation as the Genetic Algorithms have provided satisfactory results when facing problems of automatic control, especially of continuous type, while the study of discrete dynamics have been relegated. In this work, an identification technique based on the evolutionary programming is proposed for Discrete-Event Dynamic Systems (DEDS), using finite state machines (like the machines of Mealy).
