Keller, University of Missouri-Columbia Excellent new book by Eberhart and Shi asserts that computational intelligence rests on the basis of evolutionary computation. Refreshing outlook has set the book apart from other books on computational intelligence. This book has an emphasis on practical applications and computational tools, which are very useful and important for the further development of the field of computational intelligence. -Xin Yao, Center for Research Excellence in Computational Intelligence and Applications, Birmingham The "soft" analytic tool that covers the field of computational intelligence have matured to the extent that they can, often in powerful combination with one another, forming the basis for a variety of solutions suitable for use by domain experts without extensive programming experience. Computational Intelligence: Concepts to Implementation provides conceptual and practical knowledge needed to develop such solutions. Focusing on evolution computation, neural networks and fuzzy logic, the author has developed an approach to thinking about and working with computational intelligence that has, in broad experience, proven very effective. Moves clearly and efficiently from concepts and paradigms to algorithms and implementation techniques by focusing, in the early chapters, on specific concepts and paradigms that inform the methodology of the authors'. . Moves clearly and efficiently from concepts and paradigms to algorithms and implementation techniques by focusing, in the early chapters, on specific concepts and paradigms that inform the methodology of the authors'. Discussing a number of major themes, including self-organization, complex adaptive systems, and computing emerged. Details of metrics and analysis tools needed to assess the performance of computational intelligence tools. Concludes with a series of case studies that illustrate a wide range of successful applications. Presents code examples in C and C + +. Provide, at the end of each chapter, review questions and exercises suitable for graduate students, as well as researchers and practitioners involved in self-study. Make available, on the companion site, a number of software implementations that can be adapted to real-world applications.
