Preface
We were very pleased to once again extend to the delegates and, we are pleased to say, our friends the warmest of welcomes to the 8th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems at Wellington Institute of Technology in Wellington, New Zealand. The KES conferences attract a wide range of interest. The broad focus of the conference series is the theory and applications of computational intelligence and emergent technologies. Once purely a research field, intelligent systems have advanced to the point where their abilities have been incorporated into many conventional application areas. The quest to encapsulate human knowledge and capabilities in domains such as reasoning, problem solving, sensory analysis, and other complex areas has been avidly pursued. This is because it has been demonstrated that these abilities have definite practical applications. The technique
