More Description

This significantly updated 2nd edition thoroughly covers the most essential & widely employed material pertaining to neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy systems, rough sets, & chaos. The exposition reveals the core principles, concepts, & technologies in a concise & accessible, easy-to-understand manner, & as a result, prerequisites are minimal.

Topics & features:

• Retains the well-received features of the first edition, yet clarifies & expands on the topic
• Features completely new material on simulated annealing, Boltzmann machines, & extended fuzzy if-then rules tables NEW]
• Emphasizes the real-world applications derived from this important area of computer science
• Provides easy-to-comprehend descriptions & algorithms
• Integrates all material, yet allows each chapter to be used or studied independently

This invaluable text & reference is ideal for upper-level undergraduates & graduates studying artificial intelligence, soft computing, neural networks, evolutionary computing, & fuzzy systems.
