Preface

In the last 20 years, several interdisciplinary researches in the fields of physics, information technology and cybernetics, the numerical processing of Signals and Images, and electrical and electronic technologies have led to the development of Intelligent Systems. The so-called Intelligent Systems (or Intelligent Agents) represent the still more advanced and innovative frontier of research in the electronic and computer field, able to directly influence the quality of life, competitiveness, and production methods of companies, to monitor and evaluate the environmental impact, to make public service and management activities more efficient, and to protect people’s safety. The study of an intelligent system, regardless of the area of use, can be simplified into three essential components: 1. The first interacts with the environment for the acquisition of da
