Competition, regulation, convergence and globalization have driven the recent explosion of changes to telecommunications. It is virtually impossible to imagine further development and management of networks with conventional computing techniques. This volume describes the answer - using the tools of computational intelligence (CI) to optimize all layers of telecommunications networks. It introduces neural networks, granular computing, and evolutionary computing, showing the reader how to exploit them. Exercises and problems follow every chapter to build on key conceptual and algorithmic points.
