This book presents the proceedings of 8th International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA 2020), which aims to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners to share new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective applications to various engineering disciplines. The book is divided into two volumes: Evolution in Computational Intelligence (Volume 1) and Intelligent Data Engineering and Analytics (Volume 2).
Covering a broad range of topics in computational intelligence, the book features papers on theoretical as well as practical aspects of areas such as ANN and genetic algorithms, computer interaction, intelligent control optimization, evolutionary computing, intelligent e-learning systems, machine learning, mobile computing, and multi-agent systems. As such, it is a valuable reference resource for postgraduate students in various engineering disciplines.
