Soft Computing and Industry : Recent Applications

Soft computing embraces various methodologies for the development of intelligent systems that have been successfully applied to a large number of real-world problems.

Soft Computing in Industry contains a collection of papers that were presented at the 6th On-line World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications that was held in September 2001.

It provides a comprehensive overview of recent theoretical developments in soft computing as well as of successful industrial applications.

It is divided into seven parts covering material on: keynote papers on various subjects ranging from computing with autopoietic systems to the effects of the Internet on education; intelligent control; classification, clustering and optimization; image and signal processing; agents, multimedia and Internet; theoretical advances; prediction, design and diagnosis.

The book is aimed at researchers and professional engineers who develop and apply intelligent systems in computer engineering.
