Hybrid intelligent systems are becoming a very important problem-solving
methodology affecting researchers and practitioners in areas ranging
from science and technology to business and commerce. This volume
focuses on the hybridization of different soft computing technologies
and their interactions with hard computing techniques, other intelligent
computing frameworks, and agents. Topics covered include:
genetic-neurocomputing, neuro-fuzzy systems, genetic-fuzzy systems,
genetic-fuzzy neurocomputing, hybrid optimization techniques,
interaction with intelligent agents, fusion of soft computing and hard
computing techniques, other intelligent systems and hybrid systems
applications. The different contributions were presented at the first
international workshop on hybrid intelligent systems (HIS1) in Adelaide,
Australia.
