Publisher's Synopsis
The material presented in the book is divided into two main parts: Keynotes, and Case Studies. Five keynotes written by W. Pedrycz, D. Dubois and H. Prade, M.M. Gupta, P.M. Frank, and T. Kaczorek deal with: introduction into the concept and basic technologies of computational intelligence (CI), role of fuzzy logic in information engineering, paradigms of fuzzy neural computing, intelligent methods in fault diagnosis of technical plants, and with models of two-dimensional (2D) systems which are useful in analysis of methods manifesting the learning ability, respectively. The second part provides the reader with a sampling of various applications of the methods (neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy, and evolutionary systems) being the building blocks of the CI. However, a few contributions exceed this rather stiff frame of CI-definition.
