SPECIAL ISSUE ON: COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Computational Intelligence (CI) is an offshoot of artificial intelligence and has various tools such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, belief networks and chaos theory. Many hybrid models have also been proposed. Today, Computational Intelligence has emerged from the fusion of the fields of granular computing, neuro-computing and evolutionary computing and becomes one of the most active research areas and widely used techniques in information science and engineering. It has been claimed that computational intelligence is the way of the future computing. Historically, the areas of interest covered by computational intelligence are also known under the term soft computing. Computational intelligence research has become a vital part in the research of various fields like mathematics, physics, aerospace, biochemistry, stock-market, electronic devices and different other domains. It is widely recognized that research in this area will lead to the development of excellent intelligent systems in different domains.

A survey on the growth analysis of an industry/organization also underpins the truth that CI approaches and optimization algorithms pave the way for effective design, and implementation of business applications and successful integration of business disciplines. The CI paradigms applied to big data analytics and business intelligence systems is receiving much attention in recently published journals and related reports. In addition, hybridization of CI techniques such as neuro fuzzy approaches, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, rough sets can be incorporated to handle uncertainty and subjective vagueness during decision making procedures. It is worth noting that the fusion of CI approaches and optimization techniques have not been adequately investigated from the perspective of big data analytics, and business intelligence. With this perspective, this special issue has been designed to bring the cutting-edge research in all aspects of computational intelligence and applications including experimental and theoretical research, applied techniques and real-world applications to the entire society to promote research, sharing and development.
