Abstract: This paper describes the superposition of an intelligent agent (a declarative, procedural and object-oriented element of code) upon a primarily algorithmic, fully non-linear, numerical optimisation methodology, with both components being developed within the framework of this research. This intelligent agent or framework has a guiding function, normally that of selecting only the most promising scenarios for numerical evaluation using a standard hydrodynamic modelling package. The practical purpose is to develop a hybrid framework intended to perform optimal, real-time control of combined-sewer urban-drainage networks. A reduction (of at least one order of magnitude in relation to more 'traditional'approaches) is achieved within a response time sufficient for a given reliability in the on-line control.
