Abstract
An integrated control for a subject such as an engine installed in a vehicle or vessel is conducted by the steps of: determining the characteristics of a user and/or using conditions; and changing characteristics of a control system of a subject in accordance with the determined characteristics. Normally, the control system includes: a reflection hierarchy for outputting a basic output; a learning hierarchy for learning and operation; and an evolutionary-adaptation hierarchy for selecting the most adaptable module. The subject is 'trained' to suit the characteristics of the user and/or the using conditions.
