Using computational intelligence methods, you can drive far more value from business analytics, and account far more effectively for the real-world uncertainties and complexities you face in making key decisions. This text teaches you the computational intelligence concepts and methods you need to fully leverage these powerful techniques. This book illuminates today's key computational intelligence tools, knowledge, and strategies for analysis, exploration, and knowledge generation. This text demystifies artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, and fuzzy systems, and guides you through using them to model, discover, and interpret new patterns that cannot be found through statistical methods alone. To demonstrate these techniques at work, this book is packed with relevant case studies and examples.
Textiles and computing have long been associated. High volume and low profit margins of textile products have driven the industry to invest in high technology, particularly in the area of data interpretation and analysis. Thus, it is virtually inevitable that soft computing has found a home in the textile industry. Contained in this volume are six chapters discussing various aspects of soft computing in the field of textiles and apparel.
The contributions to this book cover a wide range of applications of Soft Computing to the chemical domain. The early roots of Soft Computing can be traced back to Lotfi Zadeh's work on soft data analysis [1] published in 1981. 'Soft Computing' itself became fully established about 10 years later, when the Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing (SISC), an industrial liaison program, was put in place at the University of California - Berkeley. Soft Computing applications are characterized by their ability to: • approximate many different kinds of real-world systems; • tolerate imprecision, partial truth, and uncertainty; and • learn from their environment. Such characteristics commonly l...
Geometric properties and relations play central roles in the description and processing of spatial data. The properties and relations studied by mathematicians usually have precise definitions, but verbal descriptions often involve imprecisely defined concepts such as elongatedness or proximity. The methods used in soft computing provide a framework for formulating and manipulating such concepts. This volume contains eight papers on the soft definition and manipulation of spatial relations and gives a comprehensive summary on the subject.
This volume provides practicing engineers with new solutions to demanding real-world problems. It presents applications of soft computing to the field of industrial electronics in two categories, electric power applications and emerging applications.
The development of net-centric approaches for intelligence and national security applications has become a major concern in many areas such as defense, intelligence and national and international law enforcement agencies. In this volume we consider the web architectures and recent developments that make n- centric approaches for intelligence and national security possible. These include developments in information integration and recent advances in web services including the concept of the semantic web. Discovery, analysis and management of web-available data pose a number of interesting challenges for research in w- based management systems. Intelligent agents and data mining are some of th...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems, ISMIS '96, held in Zakopane, Poland, in June 1996. The 53 revised full papers presented were selected from a total of 124 submissions; also included are 10 invited papers by leading experts surveying the state of the art in the area. The volume covers the following areas: approximate reasoning, evolutionary computation, intelligent information systems, knowledge representation and integration, learning and knowledge discovery, and AI logics.
