Reinforcement learning (RL) and adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) has been one of the most critical research fields in science and engineering for modern complex systems.

ADP or Approximate Dynamic Programming has gone by many different names including: reinforcement learning (RL), adaptive critics (AC), and neuro-dynamic programming (NDP). The dynamic programming approach to decision and control problems involving nonlinear dynamic systems provides the optimal solution in any stochastic or uncertain environment.

The revised and significantly expanded third edition of Evolutionary Computation presents the latest advances in the theory and practice of evolutionary computation. Highlighting the relationship between learning and intelligence, the book shows readers how to use simulated evolution to achieve machine intelligence.

Written by two of the best-known experts in the field, Clustering is the only thoroughly comprehensive text on the subject currently available. The book looks at the full range of clustering and provides enough detail to allow users to select the method that best fits their application.

This book highlights the importance and recent success of computational intelligence methods over a diverse range of bioinformatics problems. It encourages others to use these methods and approaches in their research, while also serving as an introduction to computational intelligence methods and applications to the consumers of the research.

Soft computing is an emerging collection of methodologies that exploit tolerances for imprecision, uncertainty, and partial truth to achieve robustness, tractability, and low total cost. Hard computing solutions are usually more straightforward to analyze, and feature more predictable behavior and stability.

Explores both counter-terrorism and enabling policy dimensions of emerging information technologies in national security After the September 11th attacks, "connecting the dots" has become the watchword for using information and intelligence to protect the United States from future terrorist attacks.

Edited by a panel of experts, this book fills a gap in the existing literature by comprehensively covering system, processing, and application aspects of biometrics, based on a wide variety of biometric traits.

This is the first self-contained book that covers the topic of Evolving Intelligent Systems in its entirety, from a systematic methodology to case studies and real industrial applications.

Lotfi Zadeh, the father of fuzzy logic, coined the phrase computing with words (CWW) to describe a methodology in which the computation objects are words drawn from a natural language.

This book covers the hot topics and applications surrounding complex-valued neural networks. It demonstrates advanced theories with a wide range of applications, including optoelectronics systems, imaging systems, and remote sensing systems.

To aid in intelligent data mining, this book introduces a new family of unsupervised algorithms that have a basis in self-organization, yet are free from many of the constraints typical of other well known self-organizing architectures.

Written by world-class leaders in type-2 fuzzy logic control, this book offers a self-contained reference for both researchers and students. The coverage provides both background and an extensive literature survey on fuzzy logic and related type-2 fuzzy control.
