Foundations of Computational Intelligence

Volume (s) Editors: Aboul-Ella Hassanien and Ajith Abraham

To be published in "Studies in Computational Intelligence" published by Springer Verlag, Germany

  Book Objectives & Mission: 

     The past years have witnessed a large number of interesting applications of various Computational intelligence techniques, such as rough sets, Neural Networks; Fuzzy Logic; Evolutionary Computing; Artificial Immune Systems; Swarm Intelligence; Reinforcement Learning and evolutionary computation, to intelligent multimedia processing.  In spite of numerous successful applications of computational intelligence techniques in business and industry, it is sometimes difficult to explain from a theoretical perspective. This volume (s) is devoted to putting together all the latest developments and rigorous studies of the foundations of computational intelligence, so that new breakthroughs can be fostered.

  Submission Guidelines and important dates

         Researchers and practitioners are kindly invited to send on or before Feb. 15 2008 a short email to abo@cba.edu.kw, containing a preliminary title and a short abstract of their chapter. This will facilitate the planning of the review process.  All chapter proposals will be peer reviewed.  Full chapters will be expected by April 28^th 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed by at least three reviewers on a double-blind review basis.  

 Original artwork and a signed copyright release forms will be required for all accepted chapters.

About the series "Studies in Computational Intelligence"

      The series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" (SCI) publishes new developments and advances in the various areas of computational intelligence – quickly and with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life science, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Critical to both contributors and readers are the short publication time and world-wide distribution - this permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results.

Instructions for Authors (Preparation of Manuscripts)
