This book presents the proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Dependability and Complex Systems (DepCoS-RELCOMEX), which took place in the Brunow Palace in Poland from 2nd to 6th July 2018.

The volume contains original research findings, exchange of ideas and dissemination of innovative, practical development experiences in different fields of soft and advance computing.

The book focuses on soft computing and its applications to solve real-world problems occurring in different domains ranging from medicine and healthcare, and supply chain management to image processing and cryptanalysis.

The book presents new approaches and methods for solving real-world problems. It offers, in particular, exploratory research that describes novel approaches in the fields of Cognitive Informatics, Cognitive Computing, Computational Intelligence, Advanced Computing, Hybrid Intelligent Models and Applications.

Nonlinear Dynamics in Cryptography, Discrete domain Swarm Robotics, Machine Learning, Facility Layout Problem, Crowdfunding Projects, Deep Learning, MHD Nanofluid Flow, Medical Diagnostics, Human Computer Interface, Social Networking, System Performance, Wireless Sensor Networks, Cognitive Radio Networks, Antenna Design etc.;

This proceedings volume contains selected papers from the Fourth International Conference on Big Data Applications and Services (BigDAS 2017), held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on August 15-18, 2017.

The book covers different aspects of real-world applications of optimization algorithms. numerically established results of nature-inspired optimization algorithms; and real-world applications of optimization algorithms and synthetic benchmarking of optimization algorithms.
