Risk is a crucial element in virtually all problems people in diverse
areas face in their activities. It is impossible to find adequate models
and solutions without taking it into account. Due to uncertainty and
complexity in those problems, traditional "hard" tools and techniques
may be insufficient for their formulation and solution.
This is the first book in the literature that shows how soft computing
methods (fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, etc.) can be
employed to deal with various problems related to risk analysis,
evaluation and management in various fields of technology, environment
and finance.
