Overview
This is an essential guide for practicing engineers, researchers, and R&D managers who wish to create or understand computationally intelligent hybrid systems, as well as an excellent primary source for graduate courses in soft computing engineering applications of artificial intelligence and related topics.Synopsis
The subtitle, The fusion of soft computing and hard computing, identifies the subclass of the title that is discussed, and also represents a challenge that the anthology addresses: the soft-computing and hard-computing communities are quite separate, but practicing engineers need all available methodologies at hand to develop innovative and competitive solutions to real-world problems. Representatives of both communities, from Asia, the US, and Europe, explore the methodological fusion or integration of approaches in such applications as aerospace, computer security, data mining, electric power systems, robust control, tool wear monitoring, user interfaces, and the World Wide Web. They write for graduate students, practicing engineers, researchers, and research-and-development managers. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Editorials
From the Publisher
"…the only book to examine the practical issue involved in the creation of high-performance, cost-effective applications using a synthesis of neural networks, fuzzy systems and evolutionary computation with traditional computing methods." (International Journal of General Systems, June 2005)"...accessible for practical engineers and at the same time quite interesting for theoretical computer scientists...it will inspire more people to use the (currently under-utilized) fusion techniques." (Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, Vol. 16, No. 3, 2005)
"…these well-written papers serve to offer insight into the powerful combination of soft and hard computing that is now being applied…to real-world applications." (Computing Reviews.com, June 10, 2005)
"This is the first book to treat the subject. With this work, the editor hopes to bridge the gap between the proponents of soft computing and hard computing." (E-STREAMS, May 2005)
