Soft Computing and Its Applications, Volume Two (Hardcover)

Hardcover. This is volume 2 of the two-volume Soft Computing and Its Applications. This volume discusses several advanced features of soft computing and hybrid methodologies. This new book essentially contains the advanced features of soft computing and different hybrid methodologies for soft computing. The book contains an abundance of examples and detailed design studies.The tool soft computing can be a landmark paradigm of computation with cognition that directly or indirectly tries to replicate the rationality of human beings. The book explains several advanced features of soft computing, such as cognitive maps, complex valued fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, quantum fuzzy sets and quantum fuzzy logic, and rough sets and hybrid methods that combine neural net fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms. The book contains several real-life applications to present the utility and potential of soft computing. The book: Discusses the present state of art of soft computing Includes the existing application areas of soft computing Presents original research contributions Discusses the future scope of work in soft computingThe book is unique in that it bridges the gap between theory and practice, and it presents several experimental results on synthetic data and real-life data. The book provides a unified platform for applied scientists and engineers in different fields and industries for the application of soft computing tools in many diverse domains of engineering. This book can be used as a textbook and/or reference book by undergraduate and postgraduate students of many different engineering branches, such as electrical engineering, control engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer sciences, and information sciences. This book will be highly useful to researchers in the area of pattern classification and computer vision as well as for academics and professionals. Combining theory and practice, the book presents several experimental results, all synthetic and real data, are provided on a unified platform for pattern classification and object recognition.
