Computational intelligence is a well-established paradigm, where new theorieswith a sound biological understanding have been evolving. The current experimental systems have many of the characteristics of biological computers (brainsin other words) and are beginning to be built to perform a variety of tasks that are difficult or impossible to do with conventional computers. As evident,the ultimate achievement in this field would be to mimic or exceed human cognitive capabilities including reasoning, recognition, creativity, emotions, understanding, learning and so on. This book comprising of 17 chapters offers a step-by-step introduction (in a chronological order) to the various modern computational intelligence tools used in practical problem solving. Staring with different search techniques including informed and uninformed search, heuristicsearch, minmax, alpha-beta pruning methods, evolutionary algorithms and swarmintelligent techniques; the authors illustrate the design of knowledge-based systems and advanced expert systems, which incorporate uncertainty and fuzziness. Machine learning algorithms including decision trees and artificial neuralnetworks are presented and finally the fundamentals of hybrid intelligent systems are also depicted. Academics, scientists as well as engineers engaged inresearch, development and application of computational intelligence techniques, machine learning and data mining would find the comprehensive coverage of this book invaluable. Covering all recent topics in the area of computational Intelligence in a well structured way. The state of the art of intelligent systems useable for researchers and graduate students.
