Coordinating the diversity of their experience, the authors: provide unique and systematic explanations for the modeling of nonlinear systems, optimization, and control of various engineering problems, without depending on mathematical models . . . gives industrial researchers and practitioners a detailed analysis of practical issues in the development of applied intelligent systems . . . Equally useful for graduate students and those familiarizing themselves with the nuances of the field, it uses case studies, simulation examples and practical experimental results throughout to illustrate relevant theory and algorithms. - In MCEER, 2009
