Introduction

Imparting intelligence has become the focus of various computational paradigms. Thanks to evolving soft computing and artificial intelligent methodologies, scientists have been able to explain and understand real life processes and practices which formerly remained unexplored by dint of their underlying imprecision, uncertainties and redundancies, as well as the unavailability of appropriate methods for describing the inexactness, incompleteness and vagueness of information representation. Computational intelligence tries to explore and unearth intelligence embedded in the system under consideration.

 

Although computational intelligence stemmed from needs in image processing and pattern recognition, lately scientists and researchers working on engineering, science, business and financial applications have turned to computational intelligence for better research throughputs and end results. In fact, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to identify a current computation-intensive application that is devoid of the influence of “Intelligence” approaches. No longer limited to computing-related disciplines, computational intelligence models may be applied to any endeavor which handles complex and meaningful information.

 

Objective of the Book

This book will aim to discuss computational intelligence approaches, initiatives and applications in engineering, science and business fields (including  Mechanical Engineering, Power Control and Optimization, Total Quality Management, Machine Intelligence, Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, Mining Engineering, Modeling and Simulation, Signal Processing, Civil Engineering, Computer, Communication, Networking and Information Engineering, Optical Engineering, Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, Ecology and Environmental Engineering, Engineering Management and Service Sciences, Systems Engineering, Innovative Computing Systems, Adaptive Technologies for Sustainable Growth, and Theoretical and Applied Sciences). This collection should inspire various scholars to contribute research on intelligence principles and approaches in their respective research communities, while enriching the body of research on computational intelligence.

 

Target Audience

The proposed book would benefit advanced students and researchers. The collection of papers in the book may serve to inspire future researchers, and PhD students may find the contents of this book useful in their coursework.

 

In particular, researchers interested in interdisciplinary research would benefit from the book. After all, the enriched interdisciplinary contents of the book would always be a subject of interest to faculty, research communities, and researchers from diverse disciplines who aspire to create new and innovative research initiatives. Hopefully, the book will bring together researchers of different research backgrounds and inspire new research groups.
