Computational Intelligence with its roots in Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks and Evolutionary Algorithms has become an important research and application field in computer science in the last decade. Methodologies from these areas and combinations of them enable users from engineering, business, medicine and many more branches to capture and process vague, incomplete, uncertain and imprecise data and knowledge. Many algorithms and tools have been developed to solve problems in the realms of high and low level control, information processing, diagnostics, decision support, classification, optimisation and many more. This book tries to show the impact and feedback between theory and applications of Computational Intelligence, highlighted on selected examples.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Computational Intelligence held in Dortmund, Germany, as the 5th Fuzzy Days, in April 1997. Besides three invited contributions, the book presents 53 revised full papers selected from a total of 130 submissions. Also included are 35 posters documenting a broad scope of applications of computational intelligence techniques in a variety of areas. The volume addresses all current issues in computational intelligence, e. g. fuzzy logic, fuzzy control, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, genetic programming, neuro-fuzzy systems, adaptation and learning, machine learning, etc.
