BOOK SCOPE

Computational Science is a main pillar of most of the present research, industrial and commercial activities and plays a unique role in exploiting ICT innovative technologies. As part of computational science, the area of intelligent computing has been the driving force behind many recent innovations in problem solving and simulation strategies, applied to complex real world problems.

The new and exiting concept of intelligent and adaptive computing contributes to the development of new generation computer systems, networks, and algorithms. Aside from methodological advances, it finds many applications in such rapidly developing areas as visualizations, 3D graphics, bioinformatics, computer simulation, high-performance computing, biometric, Geographical Information Systems, robotics, and navigation. In all of the above areas, topology and geometry play a key role in choosing methods and techniques for data representation, visualization and analysis.

The objective of this book is therefore to present a comprehensive survey of studies on Computational Intelligence with the focus on exploiting Geometrical properties of the data sets. It will present a gamut of novel ideas, insightful findings and interactive systems across multiple disciplines and applications, showcasing power of merging geometry-based techniques with intelligent and adaptive computing.

The book will concentrate on computational aspects of intelligent computing and has at its focus geometric methods and their applications.
