This book unfolds ways to transform data into innovative solutions perceived as new remarkable and meaningful value. It offers practical views of the concepts and techniques readers need to get the most out of their large-scale research and data mining projects. It strides them through the data-analytical thinking, circumvents the difficulty in deciphering complex data systems and obtaining commercialization value from the data. Also known as data-driven science, soft computing and data mining disciplines cover a broad spectrum, an interdisciplinary field of scientific methods and processes. The book, Recent Advances in Soft Computing and Data Mining, delivers sufficient knowledge to tackle a wide range of issues seen in complex systems. This is done by exploring a vast combination of practices and applications by incorporating these two domains. To thrive in these data-driven ecosystems, researchers, data analysts, and practitioners must choose the best design to approach the problem with the most efficient tools and techniques. To thrive in these data-driven ecosystems, researchers, data analysts, and practitioners must understand the design choice and options of these approaches, thus to better appreciate the concepts, tools, and techniques used.

This book is of interest to practitioners, researchers and graduate students seeking to apply existing techniques, to learn about the state of the art, or to explore novel concepts, in the theory and application of fuzzy sets and logic. Human knowledge and judgement are essential in both designing technological systems and in evaluating their outcomes. However, humans think and communicate in imprecise concepts, not numbers. Fuzzy sets and logic are well-known, widely used approaches to bridging this gap, which have been studied for nearly 60 years. NAFIPS 2022 brought together researchers studying both the theoretical foundations of fuzzy logic and its application to real-world problems. Their work examined fuzzy solutions to problems as diverse as astronomy, chemical engineering, economics, energy engineering, health care, and transportation engineering. Many papers combined fuzzy logic with interval or probabilistic computing, neural networks, and genetic algorithms.

This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in biology, medicine and health sciences and bioinformatics. The success of bioinformatics and computational biology in recent years has been driven by research through computational tools and techniques that are essential for data analysis in modern biology and medicine.Systems biology is a related research area that has been replacing the reductionist view that dominated biology research in the last decades, requiring the coordinated efforts of biological researchers with those related to data analysis, mathematical modelling, computer simulation and optimization. The accumulation and exploitation of large-scale databases prompt new computational technology and for research into these issues. In this context, many widely successful computational models and tools used by biologists in these initiatives, such as clustering and classification methods for gene expression data, are based on computer science/ artificial intelligence (CS/AI) techniques. In fact, these methods have been helping in tasks related to knowledge discovery, modelling and optimization tasks, aiming at the development of computational models so that the response of biological complex systems to any perturbation can be predicted.This proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Practical Applications of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (PACBB), held in L'Aquila (Italy) from July 13 to 15, 2022, contains ten original contributions of authors from many different countries (Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and UK) and different subfields in bioinformatics and computational biology.It is also suitable for artificial intelligence researchers interested in exploring applications in biology and health sciences and computational models.
