The proclivity of today’s technology to think like humans may be seen in new developing disciplines such as neural computing, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, machine learning, and probabilistic reasoning. These strategies are grouped together into one main technique known as “soft computing.” This book discusses the most recent soft computing and fuzzy logic-based applications and innovations in industrial advancements, supply chain and logistics, system optimization, decision-making, artificial intelligence, smart systems, and other rapidly evolving technologies. In today's competitive world, the book provides soft computing solutions to help companies overcome the obstacles posed by sophisticated decision-making systems.
