Computational Intelligence. Theory and Applications

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Intelligence held in Dortmund, Germany, as the 5th Fuzzy Days, in April 1997.
Besides three invited contributions, the book presents 53 revised full papers selected from a total of 130 submissions. Also included are 35 posters documenting a broad scope of applications of computational intelligence techniques in a variety of areas. The volume addresses all current issues in computational intelligence, e.g. fuzzy logic, fuzzy control, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, genetic programming, neuro-fuzzy systems, adaptation and learning, machine learning, etc.
