rapid progress in the application of soft computing tools and techniques have proven valuable in the development of highly scalable systems and resulted in a brilliant application, including biometric identification, interactive voice response systems, and data mining. Although many resources on the subject enough to cover theoretical concepts, few provide a clear understanding into practical application. Filling this need, Real Life Applications Soft Computing explain the application, including the underlying technology and implementation. It supplies a brief description of various models, principles, algorithms, tools, and techniques, including artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary algorithms, and hybrid algorithms. Supplying in-depth exposure to real life systems, the text provides: Multi-dimensional scope, supported by references, figures, and tables Warnings about common pitfalls in the process of implementation, as well as detailed examination of possible solutions A timely account developments in various fields of application Solved examples and exercises in each chapter Detailing a variety of contemporary applications, the text includes coverage of the biometric systems, including physiological and behavioral biometric.
