Automatic control engineering; Neural networks & fuzzy systems

This two-volume set explains the primary tools of soft computing as well as provides an abundance of working examples and detailed design studies. The books start with coverage of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic and their various approaches to fuzzy reasoning and go on to discuss several advanced features of soft computing and hybrid methodologies. Together they provide a platform for handling different kinds of uncertainties of real-life problems. It introduces the reader to the topic of rough sets.

The volumes:
* Discuss the present state of art of soft computing
* Include the existing application areas of soft computing
* Present original research contributions
* Discuss the future scope of work in soft computing

This set is unique in that it bridges the gap between theory and practice, and it presents several experimental results on synthetic data and real-life data. The books provide a unified platform for applied scientists and engineers in different fields and industries for the application of soft computing tools in many diverse domains of engineering.

The major theme of the volume is to justify the term soft computing, which is essential to handle the vagueness of the real world. The primary tool of soft computing is well discussed with plenty of worked out examples and design studies. The books can be utilized as a standard textbook on soft computing for final-year undergraduate students, postgraduate students, research scholars, professional researchers, and industry R&D groups. The unique feature of the books is that the author clearly presents the state of art with several worked out examples and case studies based on synthetic data and real-life data. The application domains of soft computing are also clearly indicated.

The volumes can be used as a textbook and/or reference book by undergraduate and postgraduate students of many different engineering branches, such as electrical engineering, control engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer sciences, and information sciences.

He has written a number of research articles published in international journals and has presented at several professional meetings. He also serves as a reviewer of several International journals. His current research interests include artificial intelligence, computer vision, commonsense reasoning, soft computing, non-monotonic deductive database systems, and DNA computing. He is the co-author of two edited volumes on approximate reasoning and fuzzy logic and fuzzy computing, and he is the co-author of Case Studies in Intelligent Computing-Achievements and Trends. He has is also the author of Polygonal Approximation and Scale-Space Analysis of Closed Digital Curves, published by Apple Academic Press, Inc.

Reviews for Soft Computing and Its Applications: Volumes One and Two

This two-volume textbook set is a quite elementary, but rather comprehensive, introduction to the field of soft computing, accessible not only for undergraduates in mathematics, but also for students in computer science and engineering. The presentation is essentially correct, offers figures for most of the notions it defines, and presents lots of detailed numerical examples. Volume 1 starts with an explanation of the notion of soft computing and continues with chapters on fuzzy sets, fuzzy operators, fuzzy relations, fuzzy logic, fuzzy implications, fuzzy if-then models, and rough sets. Volume 2 covers in separate chapters the topics of fuzzy reasoning, fuzzy reasoning based on the concept of similarity, and fuzzy control. -Siegfried J. Gottwald, writing in Zentralblatt MATH, 1308
