Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems Series Editor: Da Ruan, Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK • CEN) Mol & Ghent University, Gent, Belgium (ISSN: 1875-7650)
Aims and scope of the series The series ‘Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems’ aims at covering state-of-theart research and development in all fields where computational intelligence is investigated and applied. The series seeks to publish monographs and edited volumes on foundations and new developments in the field of computational intelligence, including fundamental and applied research as well as work describing new, emerging technologies originating from computational intelligence research. Applied CI research may range from CI applications in the industry to research projects in the life sciences, including research in biology, physics, chemistry and the neurosciences. All books in this series are co-published with Springer. For more information on this series and our other book series, please visit our website at: www.atlantis-press.com/publications/books
