This book is loaded with examples in which computer scientists and engineers have used evolutionary computation - programs that mimic natural evolution - to solve real problems. They aren t abstract, mathematically intensive papers, but accounts of solving important problems, including tips from the authors on how to avoid common pitfalls, maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the search process, and many other practical suggestions. Some of the authors have already won Humies - Human Competitive Results Awards - for the work described in this book. I highly recommend it as a highly concentrated source of good problem-solving approaches that are applicable to many real-world problems.

This book presents a specific and unified approach framework to three major components: Search Engines Performance, Link Analysis, and User s Web Behavior. The explosive growth and the widespread accessibility of the WWW has led to a surge of research activity in the area of information retrieval on the WWW. The book can be used by researchers in the fields of information sciences, engineering (especially software), computer science, statistics and management, who are looking for a unified theoretical approach to finding relevant information on the WWW and a way of interpreting it from a data perspective to a user perspective. It specifically stresses the importance of the involvement of the user looking for information to the relevance of information sought to the performance of the medium used to find information on the WWW.

Combinatorial optimisation is a ubiquitous discipline whose usefulness spans vast applications domains. The intrinsic complexity of most combinatorial optimisation problems makes classical methods unaffordable in many cases. To acquire practical solutions to these problems requires the use of metaheuristic approaches that trade completeness for pragmatic effectiveness. Such approaches are able to provide optimal or quasi-optimal solutions to a plethora of difficult combinatorial optimisation problems. The application of metaheuristics to combinatorial optimisation is an active field in which new theoretical developments, new algorithmic models, and new application areas are continuously emerging. This volume presents recent advances in the area of metaheuristic combinatorial optimisation, with a special focus on evolutionary computation methods. Moreover, it addresses local search methods and hybrid approaches. In this sense, the book includes cutting-edge theoretical, methodological, algorithmic and applied developments in the field, from respected experts and with a sound perspective.

For the last decades Multimedia processing has emerged as an important technology to generate content based on images, video, audio, graphics, and text. Furthermore, the recent new development represented by High Definition Multimedia content and Interactive television will generate a huge volume of data and important computing problems connected with the creation, processing and management of Multimedia content. "computationalintelligence in Multimedia Processing: Recent Advances" is a compilation of the latest trends and developments in the field of computationalintelligence in multimedia processing. This edited book presents a large number of interesting applications to intelligent multimedia processing of various computationalintelligence techniques, such as rough sets, Neural Networks; Fuzzy Logic; Evolutionary Computing; Artificial Immune Systems; Swarm intelligence; Reinforcement Learning and evolutionary computation.

Optimization problems are of great importance in many fields. They can be tackled, for example, by approximate algorithms such as metaheuristics. Examples of metaheuristics are simulated annealing, tabu search, evolutionary computation, iterated local search, variable neighborhood search, and ant colony optimization. In recent years it has become evident that a skilled combination of a metaheuristic with other optimization techniques, a so called hybrid metaheuristic, can provide a more efficient behavior and a higher flexibility. This is because hybrid metaheuristics combine their advantages with the complementary strengths of, for example, more classical optimization techniques such as branch and bound or dynamic programming. The authors involved in this book are among the top researchers in their domain. The book is intended both to provide an overview of hybrid metaheuristics to novices of the field, and to provide researchers from the field with a collection of some of the most interesting recent developments.

We present an axiomatic approach to the probability theory oil IF-sets = intuitionistic fuzzy sets = Atanassov sets (Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets: Theory and Applications. Physica, New York, 1999). Starting with two constructive definitions (Issues in Intelligent Systems: Paradigms, EXIT, Warszawa 2005, pp. 63-58;Soft Methods in Probability. Statistics and Data Analysis, Physica, New York 2002, pp. 105-115) we consider a theory including not only the special cases but also the general form of the probabilities on IF-sets. Moreover an embedding of the theory to the probability theory on MV-algebras is given. This fact enables to use the well developed probability theory on MV-algebras for constructing probability theory on IF-events.

Evolutionary design of intelligent systems is gaining much popularity due to its capabilities in handling several real world problems involving optimization, complexity, noisy and non-stationary environment, imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness. This edited volume 'Engineering Evolutionary Intelligent Systems' deals with the theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as various evolutionary algorithm applications to many real world problems originating from science, technology, business or commerce. This volume comprises of 15 chapters including an introductory chapter which covers the fundamental definitions and outlines some important research challenges. Chapters were selected on the basis of fundamental ideas/concepts rather than the thoroughness of techniques deployed.
