Soft Computing [PDF ebook] 
New Research

Soft computing refers to a collection of computational techniques in computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning and some engineering disciplines, which attempt to study, model, and analyze very complex phenomena: those for which more conventional methods have not yielded low cost, analytic, and complete solutions. Soft computing has been referred to in the process of forecasting flood levels and tsunamis and in the studies of Astronomy. This book provides leading-edge research from around the globe.
