Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540208984 | ISBN-13: 978-3540208983 | Publication Date: May 31, 2005 | Edition: 2005

Computational Intelligence: Principles, Techniques and Applications presents both theories and applications of computational intelligence in a clear, precise and highly comprehensive style. The textbook addresses the fundamental aspects of fuzzy sets and logic, neural networks, evolutionary computing and belief networks. The application areas include fuzzy databases, fuzzy control, image understanding, expert systems, object recognition, criminal investigation, telecommunication networks, and intelligent robots. The book contains many numerical examples and homework problems with sufficient hints so that the students can solve them on their own.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: Most complete book on computational intelligence. "The book Computational Intelligence: Principles, Techniques and Applications by Dr Amit Konar provides comprehensive and excellent coverage of current topics in computational intelligence. … the book is highly suitable for use by pre-Ph.D. students, researchers, as well as practitioners in science and engineering. … The book cites numerous references at the end of each chapter." (Steve C. Chiu, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Vol. 18, 2008)

From the Back Cover

The book Computational Intelligence: Principles, Techniques and Applications presents both theories and applications of Computational Intelligence in a clear, precise and highly comprehensive style. The textbook addresses the fundamental aspects of Fuzzy Sets and Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computing and Belief Networks. The application areas include Fuzzy Databases, Fuzzy Control, Image Understanding, Expert Systems, Object Recognition, Criminal Investigation, Telecommunication Networks and Intelligent Robots. The book contains many numerical examples and homework problems with sufficient hints so that the students can solve them on their own. Emerging areas of Computational Intelligence such as artificial life, particle swarm optimization, artificial immune systems, fuzzy chaos theory, rough sets and granular computing have also been addressed with examples in this book. The book ends with a discussion on a number of open- ended research problems in Computational Intelligence. Graduate students interested to pursue their research in this subject will greatly be benefited with these problems. A CD ROM containing the simulations is supplied with the book to enable the interested readers to develop their own application programs with the supplied C/ C++ toolbox.

This review is from: Computational Intelligence: Principles, Techniques and Applications (Hardcover)

Excellent book. I highly recommend it. Although Computational Intelligence could include almost any subject, this book is a comprehensive review of the most agreed-upon paradigms in CI. Haven't checked out the CD that comes with the book, so I cannot comment about it.
