This book is a collection of real-world applications of neural networks, which were presented at the ICANN '95 conference of the European Neural Network Society. The contributions have been carefully selected by the Program Committee under three criteria: soundness of the technical approach, relevance for the application sector, and quality of the results obtained.The book covers all major areas of industrial and service activities: process engineering, control and monitoring, technical diagnosis and nondestructive testing, power systems, robotics, transportation, telecommunications, remote sensing, banking, finance and insurance, forecasting, document processing, and medicine. It thus represents one of the most comprehensive existing surveys of the applicability and use of neural networks in industry and services.

Neural network technology encompasses a class of methods which attempt to mimic the basic structures used in the brain for information processing. Thetechnology is aimed at problems such as pattern recognition which are difficult for traditional computational methods. Neural networks have potential applications in many industrial areas such as advanced robotics, operations research, and process engineering. This book is concerned with the application of neural network technology to real industrial problems. It summarizes a three-year collaborative international project called ANNIE (Applications of Neural Networks for Industry in Europe) which was jointly funded by industry and the European Commission within the ESPRIT programme. As a record of a working project, the book gives an insight into the real problems faced in taking a new technology from the workbench into a live industrial application, and shows just how it can be achieved. It stresses the comparison between neural networks and conventional approaches. Even the non-specialist reader will benefit from understanding the limitations as well as the advantages of the new technology.

Neural networks is a field of research which has enjoyed rapid expansion in both the academic and industrial research communities. This volume contains papers presented at the Third Annual SNN Symposium on Neural Networks to be held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, 14 - 15 September 1995. The papers are divided into two sections: the first gives an overview of new developments in neurobiology, the cognitive sciences, robotics, vision and data modelling. The second presents working neural network solutions to real industrial problems, including process control, finance and marketing. The resulting volume gives a comprehensive view of the state of the art in 1995 and will provide essential reading for postgraduate students and academic/industrial researchers.

This book is a follow-up to the IChemE symposium on ?Neural Networks and Other Learning Technologies?, held at Imperial College, UK, in May 1999. The interest shown by the participants, especially those from the industry, has been instrumental in producing the book. The papers have been written by contributors of the symposium and experts in this field from around the world. They present all the important aspects of neural network utilisation as well as show the versatility of neural networks in various aspects of process engineering problems ? modelling, estimation, control, optimisation and industrial applications.

Applications of Soft Computing have recently increased and methodological development has been strong. The book is a collection of new interesting industrial applications introduced by several research groups and industrial partners. It describes the principles and results of industrial applications of Soft Computing methods and introduces new possibilities to gain technical and economic benefits by using this methodology. The book shows how fuzzy logic and neural networks have been used in the Finnish paper and metallurgical industries putting emphasis on processes, applications and technical and economic results.

After the explosion of research on neural networks in the eighties, the nineties have seen a boom in industrial applications of neural networks. In contrast to the large output of publications in international neural network journals, which reflects the increase in neural network research, the large number of successful applications are less accessible. To make a survey of successful applications in industry in Europe, a project called SIENA was initiated with support from the European Community. The aim of SIENA was to assess the business impact of neural networks. Data were collected on both the supplier side and the end-user side of the market. In addition, case studies of successful 'money-making' applications using neural networks were gathered. This book contains detailed descriptions of some of the applications.

In recent years, the science of managing and analyzing large datasets has emerged as a critical area of research.
