â&#x20AC;&#x153;Introduction to Evolutionary Informatics is a lucid, entertaining, even witty discussion of important themes in evolutionary computation, relating them to information theory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far more than that, however. It is an assessment of how things might have come to be the way they are, applying an appropriate scientific skepticism to the hypothesis that random processes can explain many observed phenomena. Thus the book is appropriate for the expert and non-expert alike.â&#x20AC;?

About I

$ERXW 101& $LPV 6FRSH

The Intern tion l ourn l o o u t tion l Intelli ence nd A lic tion I IA, is a refereed journal dedicated to the theory and applications of computational intelligence (artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation and hybrid systems). The main goal of this journal is to provide the scientific community and industry with a vehicle whereby ideas using two or more conventional and computational intelligence based techniques could be discussed.

Recognizing the world is full of vagueness and uncertainty, this journal has chosen three very focused areas of research: i. Mathematics of Uncertainty ii. Economics & Finances iii. Cognitive Science

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SEMANTIC COMPUTING (IJSC)

The close cooperation of the above three areas is of paramount importance. This journal strongly encourages the suggestions of any topic within these three general areas of research. The journal has demonstrated there is room for artificial intelligence & modern control theory in contributing solutions to some selected economic problems. We shall continue to explore other possibilities. A new initiative on cognitive science and economics is a good example. Over the years, this journal has published some papers on pattern recognition, image processing, and natural languages vis-a-vis artificial intelligence. We welcome any proposal on worthy new initiatives. $EVWUDFWLQJ ,QGH[LQJ: Academic OneFile | Academic Search Complete/ Elite/ Premier | Baidu | Business Source Complete | CNKI | CnpLINKer | Computer & Information Systems Abstracts | Ebsco Discovery Service | EBSCO Electronic Journal Service (EJS) | Embase | Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) | ExLibris Primo Central | Google Scholar | J-Gate | Mathematical ReviewsÂŽ (MR) | Naver | NSTL - National Science and Technology Libraries | OCLC WorldCatÂŽ | RePEC | Scopus | The SummonÂŽ Service | Zentralblatt MATH

The IJCIA welcomes original works in areas such as neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, pattern recognition, hybrid intelligent systems, symbolic machine learning, statistical models, image/audio/video compression and retrieval. The IJCIA greatly encourages new ideas, combining two or more areas, such as neuro-fuzzy, neuro-symbolic, neuro-evolutionary, neuro-symbolic, neuro-pattern recognition, fuzzy-evolutionary, evolutionary-symbolic, fuzzy-evolutionary, evolutionary-symbolic, fuzzy-symbolic, etc. to be submitted.
