This interesting and ambitious book will assist researchers, users, developers, and designers of the information and management systems. It will also offer a comprehensive overview of computational and artificial intelligence issues to graduate students and other learners, who want a gentle, but rigorous introduction to the computational modeling and simulation of intellect.

The current volume edited by Dr. Boris Igelnik provides a superb perspective on this vast new field. The papers collected deal with both fundamental, theoretical problems as well as with specific, practical problems including the vital areas of medicine and environmental protection. Some of them provide very valuable state-of-the-art surveys of important subfields. The reader can get a deeper understanding of some already traditional approaches and learn about new ones. Dr. Igelnik has been very active in the field for many years and has participated in its development with many important contributions. Thanks to his excellent work and vision the volume will be a valuable reference and source of information on the fields concerned for researchers, graduate and postgraduate students as well as practitioners.

A number of diverse methods and approaches from different fields are juxtaposed in hopes of some fusion or cross-fertilization in the pursuit of the modeling and simulation of intellect. Among those fields are computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, business, telecommunication, physiology, and statistics. In addition to explaining concepts, the studies cover applying artificial and computational methods to image and signal processing, robotics, control, medicine and environmental monitoring and protection, and learning.
