Hybrid Computational Intelligence: Research and Applications

Hybrid computational intelligent techniques are efficient in dealing with the real-world problems encountered in engineering fields. The primary objective of this book is to provide an exhaustive introduction as well as review of the hybrid computational intelligent paradigm, with supportive case studies. In addition, it aims to provide a gallery of engineering applications where this computing paradigm can be effectively use. Finally, it focuses on the recent quantum inspired hybrid intelligence to develop intelligent solutions for the future. The book also incorporates video demonstrations of each application for better understanding of the subject matter.
