Tiwari A., Knowles J., Avineri E., Dahal K., Roy R. (eds.) Applications of Soft Computing. Recent Trends

Springer, 2006. — 421 p.Soft computing is the study of computational methods that involve - or are tolerant of - approximation, imprecision, uncertainty and/or partial truth. Principal amongst these methods are the complementary techniques of evolutionary computing, neural networks and fuzzy systems. This volume contains a collection of papers that were presented at the 10th Online World Conference on Soft Computing in Industrial Applications (WSC10), held in September 2005 on the World Wide Web. It provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the industrial uses of soft computing and covers a wide range of application areas, including optimisation, data analysis and data mining, computer graphics and vision, prediction and diagnosis, design, intelligent control, and traffic and transportation systems.Computer Graphics, Imaging and Vision
