Design and Application of Hybrid Intelligent Systems

Intelligent Systems cover a broad area of knowledge-based systems, computational intelligence, soft computing, and their hybrid combinations. Research and development in intelligent systems have enabled us to not only solve a range of problems which were previously considered too difficult but also have enabled a larger number of other problems to be tackled more effectively. This volume focuses on the recent research developments on intelligent systems in a hybrid environment and its applications in business systems, image processing, Internet modeling, control/automation and data mining. The different contributions presented in this volume were accepted for the Third International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'03).
