This book covers all core technologies like neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary computation and their applications in the systems. Computationally intelligent system is a new concept for advanced information processing. The objective of this system is to realize a new approach for analyzing and creating flexible information processing of sensing, learning, recognizing, and action taking. Computational intelligent is a part of artificial intelligence (AI) which includes the study of versatile components to empower or encourage savvy practices in intricate and evolving situations. The computationally intelligent system highly relies on numerical information supplied by manufacturers unlike AI.
