Intelligent Systems and Soft Computing Prospects, Tools and Appl
Artificial intelligence has, traditionally focused on solving human-centered problems like natural language processing or common-sense reasoning. On the other hand, for a while now soft computing has been applied successfully in areas like pattern recogni

Preface Building intelligent machines has been mankind’s dream for decades. There have been many discussions on, and much written about, the impact of machine intelligence on society. Science fiction movies have portrayed both the brighter and the darker aspects of being surrounded on all sides by artificial systems with more intelligence than humans. Building such intelligent machines is, and will remain for the foreseeable future, a dream. The collection of papers that makes up this book, explore the prospects of incorporating intelligent behaviour into software systems. It outlines many promising directions, and describes possible tools and applications for intelligent systems in the near future. Much effort, time, and money have been spent in the last 50 years in understanding the nature of human intelligence. Why? So that artificial systems can be built that act and work as intelligently as humans. While the realisation of an intelligent machine tha
