Soft Computing: With Matlab Programming

Beginning with an overview of intelligent soft computing, the book offers exhaustive coverage of artificial neural networks (ANN), discussing in detail ANN tracking in all the three generations of neural networks and their developments. This is followed by detailed chapters discussing fuzzy logic features and applications. The chapter on genetic algorithms then explains various GA operators such as crossover and mutation with suitable examples and illustrations. Finally, swarm intelligent systems are illustrated in detail, also discussing the engineering applications of particle swarm intelligent systems.

MATLAB codes have been used throughout the text to illustrate the applications of the concepts discussed.
