In robotics, the integration of EAs within the engineer's toolbox made tremendous progress in the last 20 years and proposes new methods to address challenging problems in various setups: modular robotics, swarm robotics, robotics with non-conventional mechanics (e.g.

This presentation of the latest developments in computational linguistics covers the fast-moving field of information extraction, with papers from the CLA '11 conference held in Poland including recent successes in developing intelligent personal assistants.

This book presents recent advances on hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques for intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, time series prediction and optimization of complex problems.

Part II includes ANAC 2011 (The Second Automated Negotiating Agents Competition), in which automated agents who have different negotiation strategies and implemented by different developers are automatically negotiate in the several negotiation domains.

In chapter 1, a review of Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO) techniques for both single and multiple criterions problem is presented. A survey on swarm intelligence for multiple and many objectives optimization is presented in chapter 2 along with a topical study on EEG signal analysis.

Nowadays, intelligent techniques are more and more used in Computer Graphics in order to optimise the processing time, to find more accurate solutions for a lot of Computer Graphics problems, than with traditional methods, or simply to find solutions in problems where traditional methods fail.

The experience developed by Ian McHarg represents the first attempt to base environmental planning on more objective methods.

This book offers new ideas, theories, models, technologies, system architectures and applications in intelligent scalable systems, exploring such Artificial Intelligence-based techniques as fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary, and memetic algorithms.

Alan Turing pioneered many research areas such as artificial intelligence, computability, heuristics and pattern formation.

Nowadays, more and more users are witnessing the impact of Hypermedia/Multimedia as well as the penetration of social applications in their life. All contributions provide an in-depth investigation on research and deployment issues, regarding already introduced schemes and applications in Semantic Hyper/Multimedia and Social Media Adaptation.

The book provides a sample of research on the innovative theory and applications of soft computing paradigms. The idea of Soft Computing was initiated in 1981 when Professor Zadeh published his first paper on soft data analysis and constantly evolved ever since.

The International Computer Vision Summer School - ICVSS was established in 2007 to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research in Computer Vision.

Many real world and industrial problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks.This volume is a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the Workshop on Computational Optimization 2013.

This book stands out in its coverage of traditional as well as modern aspects of dialysis modeling and control. It offers in-depth analysis of the mathematical models and algorithms, and demonstrates how to apply them in complex, real-life situations.

Those objects combined with innovative algorithms become autonomous objects capable of patrolling chosen borderland areas by themselves and automatically inform the operator of the system about potential place of detection of a specific incident.

This book examines issues related to energy usage and optimal low-cost system design in high performance green-computing systems. It offers complete coverage, from theory to applications, as well as outlines development trends and open research issues.

Complex systems and their phenomena are ubiquitous as they can befound in biology, finance, the humanities, management sciences,medicine, physics and similar fields. For many problems in these fields, there are no conventional ways tomathematically or analytically solve them completely at low cost.

It collects invited chapters and extended research contributions from the DART 2011 Workshop, held in Palermo (Italy), on September 2011, and co-located with the XII International Conference of the Italian Association on Artificial Intelligence.

This book covers important aspects of fundamental research in data provenance and data management(DPDM), including provenance representation and querying, as well as practical applications in such domains as clinical trials, bioinformatics and radio astronomy.

This book is an updated effort in summarizing the trending topics and new hot research lines in solving dynamic problems using metaheuristics.

Fusing input from seemingly unrelated disciplines including engineering and literature, this edited collection is the product of a number of workshops on the topic and covers a range of chance discovery methods that affect decision making in artificial intelligence.

The book Intelligent Systems in Science and Information 2014 is the carefully edited collection of 25 extended chapters from selected papers in the field of Computational Intelligence that , which received highly recommended feedback during the Science and Information Conference (SAI) 2014 review process.

In the modern science and technology there are some research directions and ch- lenges which are at the forefront of world wide research activities because of their relevance.

This book describes in a detailed fashion the application of hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques for intelligent control and mobile robotics.
