Abstract

In the paper a description of procedure for solving the inverse problem of continuous casting is given. The problem consists in reconstruction of the cooling conditions of solidified ingot and is based on minimization of the appropriate functional by using the modified Harmony Search algorithm – the algorithm of artificial intelligence inspired by process of composing the jazz music.
