Recent Developments and New Direction in Soft-Computing Foundations and Applications: Selected Papers from the 4th World Conference on Soft Computing, ... in Fuzziness and Soft Computing Book 342)

by Lotfi A. Zadeh (editor), Ali M. Abbasov (Editor), Ronald R. Yager (Editor)

This book reports on advancedtheories and cutting-edge applications in the field of soft computing. Theindividual chapters, written by leading researchers, are based on contributionspresented during the 4th World Conference on Soft Computing, held May 25-27,2014, in Berkeley. The book covers a wealth of key topics in soft computing,focusing on both fundamental aspects and applications. The former include fuzzymathematics, type-2 fuzzy sets, evolutionary-based optimization, aggregationand neural networks, while the latter include soft computing in data analysis,image processing, decision-making, classification, series prediction,economics, control, and modeling. By providing readers with a timely,authoritative view on the field, and by discussing thought-provokingdevelopments and challenges, the book will foster new research directions inthe diverse areas of soft computing.
