This is the first book covering the basics and the state of the art and important applications of the complete growing discipline of computational intelligence. This comprehensive handbook presents a unique synergy of various approaches and new qualities to be gained by using hybrid approaches, incl. inspirations from biology and living organisms and animate systems. The text is organized in 7 main parts foundations, fuzzy sets, rough sets, evolutionary computation, neural networks, swarm intelligence and hybrid computational intelligence systems.

Zusammenfassung
The Springer Handbook for Computational Intelligence is the first book covering the basics, the state-of-the-art and important applications of the dynamic and rapidly expanding discipline of computational intelligence. This comprehensive handbook makes readers familiar with a broad spectrum of approaches to solve various problems in science and technology. Possible approaches include, for example, those being inspired by biology, living organisms and animate systems. Content is organized in seven parts: foundations; fuzzy logic; rough sets; evolutionary computation; neural networks; swarm intelligence and hybrid computational intelligence systems. Each Part is supervised by its own Part Editor(s) so that high-quality content as well as completeness are assured.
