Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems Using Soft Computing Techniques by Patricia Melin

Analysis and Design of Intelligent Systems Using Soft Computing Techniques by Patricia Melin

This book comprises a selection of papers from IFSA 2007 on new methods for ana- sis and design of hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques. Soft Computing (SC) consists of several computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, n- ral networks, and genetic algorithms, which can be used to produce powerful hybrid intelligent systems for solving problems in pattern recognition, time series prediction, intelligent control, robotics and automation. Hybrid intelligent systems that combine several SC techniques are needed due to the complexity and high dimensionality of real-world problems. Hybrid intelligent systems can have different architectures, which have an impact on the efficiency and accuracy of these systems, for this reason it is very important to optimize architecture design. The architectures can combine, in different ways, neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, to achieve the ultimate goal of pattern recognition, time series prediction, intelligent control, or other application areas. This book is intended to be a major reference for scientists and engineers interested in applying new computational and mathematical tools to design hybrid intelligent systems. This book can also be used as a reference for graduate courses like the f- lowing: soft computing, intelligent pattern recognition, computer vision, applied ar- ficial intelligence, and similar ones. The book is divided in to twelve main parts. Each part contains a set of papers on a common subject, so that the reader can find similar papers grouped together.

Dr. Sio-Iong Ao finished his doctoral research in The University of Hong Kong and postdoctoral researches in the University of Oxford and Harvard University and is a former visiting professor of Cranfield University, UK and University of Wyoming, USA.

Dr. Haeng-Kon Kim is currently a Dean of engineering college and a professor in the Department of Computer Engineering Catholic University of Daegu, in Korea. He has been a research staff member in Bell Lab. and NASA center in U.S.A. He has taught in Central Michigan Univ. in U.S.A. during his Sabbatical (Dec., 20, 2000 Feb., 20,2002).

Prof. Oscar Castillo is a Professor of Computer Science in the Graduate Division, Tijuana Institute of Technology, Tijuana, Mexico. Prof. Castillo serves as Research Director of Computer Science and head of the research group on fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, and is President of HAFSA (Hispanic American Fuzzy Systems Association) and Vice-President of IFSA (International Fuzzy Systems Association). Prof. Castillo is also Vice-Chair of the Mexican Chapter of the Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE).

Dr Alan H.S. Chan obtained his BSc, MPhil, and PhD from the University of Hong Kong. He has a wide range of research interests in human factors, work design, and occupational safety and health and has published more than 160 papers in SCI journals. He has been contributing to his profession and was elected as a Fellow of Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers, International Ergonomics Association, Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, Institution of Engineering and Technology, and the Hong Kong Ergonomics Society. Dr Chan was the President of Institute of Industrial Engineers (HK) for 96/97 and twice the President of Hong Kong Ergonomics Society (03-05, 09-11).
