Computational Intelligence

An Introduction

von Andries P. Engelbrecht
Computational intelligence is the study of adaptive mechanisms toenable or facilitate intelligent behaviour in complex and changingenvironments. As such, computational intelligence combinesartificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, swarmintelligence and fuzzy systems.
This book presents a highly readable and systematic introduction tothe fundamentals of computational intelligence. In-depth treatmentsof the more important and most frequently used techniques are alsogiven. The book provides treatment of computational intelligence ina manner which allows the reader to easily implement the differenttechniques, and to apply these techniques to solve real-world, complex problems.
Key features include:
* A balanced treatment of the different computational intelligenceparadigms
* Inclusion of swarm intelligence
* Coverage of the most recent developments in computationalintelligence
* Complete algorithms presented in pseudo-code to allowimplementation in any language
* Includes numerous exercises to involve and stimulate the readerfurther
The careful and considered approach to this key subject makes thisbook appropriate for both the first-time reader, as well asindividuals already active in the field.
