Kurzbeschreibung Computational Intelligence is the broad and more technically accurate term used by electrical engineers and computer scientists to describe the overlapping technical interest areas (neural networks, fuzzy logic systems, evolutionary computation) that would be more readily identified by non-technologists as artificial intelligence. The synergy between these fields is creating new applications and fields of study, e.g. "Face Recognition Software" an application of the study of Biometrics. MATLAB was developed from these same areas and it is now a common tool used by mathematicians and scientists for research. Fitting computational intelligence components into an application or developing a new technology requires knowledge of the separate units and their various components. Consisting of expanded papers generated by the plenary and invited lecturers from the WCCI, plus transitions and introductory chapters, this new volume addresses the fundamental issues of computational intelligence.
