Soft Computing

The book presents a clear understanding of a new type of computation system, the Cellular Neural Network (CNN), which has been successfully applied to the solution of many heavy computation problems, mainly in the fields of image processing and complex partial differential equations. The text describes how CNN will improve the soft-computation toolbox, and examines the many applications of soft computing to complex systems.
