  Book Objectives & Mission:

The past years have witnessed a large number of interesting applications of
various Computational intelligence techniques, such as rough sets, Neural
Networks; Fuzzy Logic; Evolutionary Computing; Artificial Immune Systems;
Swarm Intelligence; Reinforcement Learning and evolutionary computation, to
intelligent multimedia processing. In spite of numerous successful
applications of computational intelligence techniques in business and
industry, it is sometimes difficult to explain from a theoretical
perspective. This volume (s) is devoted to putting together all the latest
developments and rigorous studies of the foundations of computational
intelligence, so that new breakthroughs can be fostered.
