The 30 coherently written chapters by leading researchers presented in this anthology are devoted to basic results achieved in computational intelligence since 1997. The book provides complete coverage of the core issues in the field, especially in fuzzy logic and control as well as for evolutionary optimization algorithms including genetic programming, in a comprehensive and systematic way. Theoretical and methodological investigations are complemented by prototypic applications for design and management tasks in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering. This book will become a valuable source of reference for researchers active in computational intelligence. Advanced students and professionals interested in learning about and applying advanced techniques of computational intelligence will appreciate the book as a useful guide enhanced by numerous examples and applications in a variety of fields.
