This volume covers the state-of-the art of the research and development in various aspects of computational intelligence and gives some perspective directions of development. Except the traditional engineering areas that contain theoretical knowledge, applications, designs and projects, the book includes the area of use of computational intelligence in biomedical engineering. „Aspects of Computational Intelligence: Theory and Applications” is a compilation of carefully selected extended papers written on the basis of original contributions presented at the 15th IEEE International Conference on Intelligence Engineering Systems 2011, INES 2011 held at June 23.-26. 2011 in AquaCity Poprad, Slovakia.

Ten years of ,,Fuzzy Days“ in Dortmund! What started as a relatively small workshop in 1991 has now become one of the best known smaller conferences on Computational Intelligence in the world. It fact, it was (to my best knowledge) the ?rst conference to use this term, in 1994, although I confess that another, larger conference was announced ?rst and the trade mark “Computational Intelligence was not coined in Dortmund. I believe, that the success of this conference is grounded on the quality of its reviewedandinvitedpapersaswellasitsgoodorganization. Fromthebeginning, we have sent every paper anonymously to ?ve referees, and we have always accepted only around 50% of the papers sent in. This year it was a little less than that. I would like to thank everybody who helped us by considering Dortmund’s Fuzzy Days as the conference at which to appear. I know that among the - stracts not accepted there were some quite good ones, but we were restricted to a ?xed number. I also know that referees do a good job but cannot always judge wisely from abstracts. Hence my apologies to those who did not make it this year. Please try again! I would like to point out that our conference also has a good regional re- tation. I am grateful to the City of Dortmund, its Lord Mayor Dr. Langemeyer, the Dortmund project, the DFG – Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the KVR – Kommunalverband Ruhrgebiet, the Martin-Schmeißer-Stiftung, and the C- line AG/Quantum GmbH for their valuable support.

This book presents selected proceedings of ICCI-2017, discussing theories, applications and future directions in the field of computational intelligence (CI). ICCI-2017 brought together international researchers presenting innovative work on self-adaptive systems and methods. This volume covers the current state of the field and explores new, open research directions. The book serves as a guide for readers working to develop and validate real-time problems and related applications using computational intelligence. It focuses on systems that deal with raw data intelligently, generate qualitative information that improves decision-making, and behave as smart systems, making it a valuable resource for researchers and professionals alike.

This book examines the fundamentals and technologies of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and describes their tools, challenges, and issues. It also explains relevant theory as well as industrial applications in various domains, such as healthcare, economics, education, product development, agriculture, human resource management, environmental management, and marketing. The book is a boon to students, software developers, teachers, members of boards of studies, and researchers who need a reference resource on artificial intelligence and its applications and is primarily intended for use in courses offered by higher education institutions that strive to equip their graduates with Industry 4.0 skills. FEATURES: Gender disparity in the enterprises involved in the development of AI-based software development as well as solutions to eradicate such gender bias in the AI world A general framework for AI in environmental management, smart farming, e-waste management, and smart energy optimization The potential and application of AI in medical imaging as well as the challenges of AI in precision medicine AI’s role in the diagnosis of various diseases, such as cancer and diabetes The role of machine learning models in product development and statistically monitoring product quality Machine learning to make robust and effective economic policy decisions Machine learning and data mining approaches to provide better video indexing mechanisms resulting in better searchable results ABOUT THE EDITORS: Prof. Dr. P. Kaliraj is Vice Chancellor at Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, India. Prof. Dr. T. Devi is Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Applications, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, India.

The International Symposium of Hungarian Researchers on Computational Intel- th gence and Informatics celebrated its 10 edition in 2009. This volume contains a careful selection of papers that are based on and are extensions of corresponding l- tures presented at the jubilee conference. This annual Symposium was launched by Budapest Tech (previously Budapest Polytechnic) and by the Hungarian Fuzzy Association in 2000, with the aim to bring together Hungarian speaking researchers working on computational intelligence and related topics from all over the world, but with special emphasis on the Central Eu- pean Region. th The Symposium of the 10 jubilee anniversary contained 70 reviewed papers. The growing interests, the enthusiasm of the participants have proved that the Symposium has become an internationally recognized scientific event providing a good platform for the annual meeting of Hungarian researchers. The main subject area called Computational Intelligence includes diverse topics. Therefore, we offer snapshots rather than a full coverage of a small particular subject to the interested reader. This principle is also supported by the common national root of the authors. The book begins with Information Systems and Communication. This part contains papers on graphs of grammars, software and hardware solution for Mojette transf- mation, statistical intrusion detection, congestion forecast, and 3D-based internet communication and control.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a dynamic field that is constantly expanding into new application areas, discovering new research challenges and facilitating the devel- ment of innovative products. Today’s information overload and rapid technological advancement raise needs for effective management of the complexity and heteroge- ity of knowledge, for intelligent and adaptable man–machine interfaces and for pr- ucts and applications that can learn and take decisions by themselves. Although the mystery of human-level intelligence has just started to be uncovered in various int- disciplinary fields, AI is inspired by the respective scientific areas to explore certain theories and models that will provide the methods and techniques to design and - velop human-centered applications that address the above-mentioned needs. This volume contains papers selected for presentation at the 5th Hellenic Conference on Artificial Intelligence (SETN 2008), the official meeting of the Hellenic Society for Artificial Intelligence (EETN). Previous conferences were held at the University of Piraeus (1996), at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2002), at the University of the Aegean (2004) and at the Institute of Computer Science at FORTH (Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas) and the University of Crete (2006).
