The use of evolutionary computation techniques has grown considerably over the past several years. Over this time, the use and applications of these techniques have been further enhanced resulting in a set of computational intelligence (also known as modern heuristics) tools that are particularly adept for solving complex optimization problems....

Computational Intelligence is a broad and active research area that is growing rapidly due to the many successful applications of these new techniques in very diverse problems. Many industries have benefited from adopting this technology....

This book is dedicated to the theory and applications of Intelligent Systems. Research and development work in Intelligent Systems area is growing rapidly due to many successful applications of these new techniques in very diverse problems....

The problem of controlling uncertain dynamic systems, which are subject to external disturbances, uncertainty and sheer complexity is of considerable interest in computer science, Operations Research and Business domains....
