Full Description
This book reports on advanced
theories and cutting-edge applications in the field of soft computing. The
individual chapters, written by leading researchers, are based on contributions
presented during the 4th World Conference on Soft Computing, held May 25-27,
2014, in Berkeley. The book covers a wealth of key topics in soft computing,
focusing on both fundamental aspects and applications. The former include fuzzy
mathematics, type-2 fuzzy sets, evolutionary-based optimization, aggregation
and neural networks, while the latter include soft computing in data analysis,
image processing, decision-making, classification, series prediction,
economics, control, and modeling. By providing readers with a timely,
authoritative view on the field, and by discussing thought-provoking
developments and challenges, the book will foster new research directions in
the diverse areas of soft computing.
