“Comprehensive introduction of soft computing, accessible not only for undergraduates in mathematics but also for students in computer science and engineering . . . Offers figures for most notations it defines and presents lots of detailed numerical examples. Volume 1 starts with an explanation of the notion of soft computing and continues with chapters on fuzzy sets, fuzzy operators and fuzzy relations, on fuzzy logic, on fuzzy implications and fuzzy if-then models, and on rough sets. Volume 2 covers in separate chapters the topics of fuzzy reasoning, of fuzzy reasoning based on the concept of similarity, and of fuzzy control. The author included also more recent and, occasionally, a bit more advanced topics.”
—Siegfried J. Gottwald (Leipzig), in Zentralblatt MATH 1308


This is volume 2 of the two-volume Soft Computing and Its Applications. This volume discusses several advanced features of soft computing and hybrid methodologies. This new book essentially contains the advanced features of soft computing and different hybrid methodologies for soft computing. The book contains an abundance of examples and detailed design studies.

The tool soft computing can be a landmark paradigm of computation with cognition that directly or indirectly tries to replicate the rationality of human beings. The book explains several advanced features of soft computing, such as cognitive maps, complex valued fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, quantum fuzzy sets and quantum fuzzy logic, and rough sets and hybrid methods that combine neural net fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms. The book contains several real-life applications to present the utility and potential of soft computing.

The book
  • discuss the present state of art of soft computing
  • include the existing application areas of soft computing
  • present original research contributions
  • discuss the future scope of work in soft computing
The book is unique in that it bridges the gap between theory and practice, and it presents several experimental results on synthetic data and real life data. The book provides a unified platform for applied scientists and engineers in different fields and industries for the application of soft computing tools in many diverse domains of engineering. This book can be used as a textbook and/or reference book by undergraduate and postgraduate students of many different engineering branches, such as, for example, electrical engineering, control engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer sciences, and information sciences.
