Science has made great progress in the twentieth century, with the establishment of proper disciplines in the fields of physics, computer science, molecular biology, and many others. At the same time, there have also emerged many engineering ideas that are interdisciplinary in nature, beyond the realm of such orthodox disciplines. These in- clude, for example, artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutional computation, data mining, and so on. In or- der to generate new technology that is truly human-friendly in the twenty-first century, integration of various...

Publication of this book is a special event. This valuable title ?lls a se- ous gap in domestic science and technical literature. At the same time it introduces a reader to the most recent achievements in the quickly dev- oping branch of knowledge which the computational intelligence has been for several years. The ?eld, which is a subject of this book, is one of those important ?elds of science which enable to process information included in data and give their reasonable interpretation programmed by a user. Recent decades have brought a stormy development of computer te-...

The two-volume set LNAI 7267 and 7268 (together with LNCS 7269 ) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing, ICAISC 2012, held in Zakopane, Poland in April/ May 2012. The 212 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 483 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on neural networks and their applications, computer vision, image and speech analysis, data mining, hardware implementation, bioinformatics, biometrics and medical applications, concurrent parallel processing,...
