Machine Intelligence: Quo Vadis?

This book brings together the contributions of leading researchers in the field of machine intelligence, covering areas such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation and hybrid systems.There is wide coverage of the subject — from simple tools, through industrial applications, to applications in high-level intelligent systems which are biologically motivated, such as humanoid robots (and selected parts of these systems, like the visual cortex). Readers will gain a comprehensive overview of the issues in machine intelligence, a field which promises to play a very important role in the information society of the future.
