This book reviews current state of the art methods for building
intelligent systems using type-2 fuzzy logic and bio-inspired
optimization techniques. Combining type-2 fuzzy logic with optimization
algorithms, powerful hybrid intelligent systems have been built using
the advantages that each technique offers. This book is intended to be a
reference for scientists and engineers interested in applying type-2
fuzzy logic for solving problems in pattern recognition, intelligent
control, intelligent manufacturing, robotics and automation. This book
can also be used as a reference for graduate courses like the following:
soft computing, intelligent pattern recognition, computer vision,
applied artificial intelligence, and similar ones. We consider that this
book can also be used to get novel ideas for new lines of re-search, or
to continue the lines of research proposed by the authors.
