A modelling procedure based on hybrid configuration composed of artificial neural networks, differential evolution and clonal selection algorithms is developed and applied in this work. The neural network represents the model of the system, while the differential evolution and clonal selection algorithms perform a simultaneous topological and parametric optimization of the model. The results indicated that the combination of the two optimizers produces better results compared with each of them working separately. As case study, styrene polymerization, a complex process which is difficult to model when taking into consideration all the internal interactions, was chosen. Neural networks, designed in an optimal form, proved to be adequate tools for modelling this system.
