NEURAL NETWORKS, FUZZY LOGIC, AND GENETIC ALGORITHMS : SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATIONS (WITH CD-ROM)

This book provides comprehensive introduction to a consortium of technologies underlying soft computing. The constituent technologies discussed comprise neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, and a number of hybrid systems which include classes such as neuro-fuzzy, fuzzy-genetic, and neuro-genetic systems. The hybridization of the technologies is demonstrated on architectures such as Fuzzy-Back-propagation Networks (NN-FL), Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP (NN-FL), and Fuzzy Associative Memories. The book also gives an exhaustive discussion of FL-GA hybridization.
This book with a wealth of information that is clearly presented and illustrated by many examples and applications is designed for use as a text for courses in soft computing at both the senior undergraduate and first-year postgraduate engineering levels.
