Preface

The First Engineering Applications of Neural Networks (EANN) conference was held in Otaniemi, Finland, in 1995. Since then the EANN conferences have provided academics and industry professionals from across the world with the opportunity to share experiences and to present and demonstrate advances in a wide range of neural network applications. The 13th EANN 2012 conference was held on the London campus of Coventry University, UK, during September 2012. The primary sponsor for the conference was the International Neural Network Society (INNS). The 13th EANN 2012 attracted delegates from 23 countries across the world: Russia, USA, South Africa, Germany, Italy, UK, Greece, Switzerland, Spain, Brazil, India, Ukraine, France, Poland, Turkey, Chile, Israel, China, Cyprus, Taiwan, Portugal, Belgium, and Finland. This volume includes the papers that were accepted for presentation at the conference, at the Workshop on Applying Computational Intelligence Techniques in Financial Time Series Forecasting and Trading (ACIFF), and the Workshop on the Computational Intelligence Applications in Bioinformatics (CIAB). The papers demonstrate a variety of applications of
