Recent years have seen the widespread application of Natural Computing algorithms (broadly defined in this context as computer algorithms whose design draws inspiration from phenomena in the natural world) for the purposes of financial modelling and optimisation. A related stream of work has also seen the application of learning mechanisms...

The book project was launched to access the latest research related to chaos applications in intelligent computing where researchers from all over the world provide the necessary coverage of the mentioned field. The primary objective of this project was to assemble as much research coverage as possible related to the field by defining...

With the increasing applications of intelligent robotic systems in various fields, the design and control of these systems have increasingly attracted interest from researchers. This edited book entitled Design and Control of Intelligent Robotic Systems in the book series of Studies in Computational Intelligence is a collection of some...

Discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are closely linked research areas with strong impacts on applications and various other scientific disciplines. Both fields deeply cross fertilize each other. One of the persons who particularly contributed to building bridges between these and many other areas is László...

Computational Intelligence: A Compendium presents a well structured overview about this rapidly growing field with contributions from leading experts in Computational Intelligence. The main focus of the compendium is on applied methods, tried-and-proven as being effective to realworld problems, which is especially useful for practitioners,...

Computer-mediated participation is at the crossroads. In the early heady days of the digital revolution, access to "high" technologies such as GIS promised the empowerment of marginalized communities by providing data and information that was previously hidden away from public view. To a great extent, this goal has been achieved at...
