“Introduction to Evolutionary Informatics is a lucid, entertaining, even witty discussion of important themes in evolutionary computation, relating them to information theory. It’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.” Donald Wunsch, Distinguished Professor and Director of the Applied Computational Intelligence Lab, Missouri University of Science & Technology, USA Readership: General / Popular; Enthusiasts in science, engineering and apologetics and to those interested in the information theoretic components of closely examined evolution. 332pp 978-981-3142-13-8 978-981-3142-14-5(pbk)

edited by Nick Heard (Imperial College London, UK), Niall Adams (Imperial College London, UK), Patrick Rubin-Delanchy (University of Bristol, UK) & Melissa Turcotte (Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA) The application of statistical and broader data science techniques provides an exciting growth area in the design of cyber defences. Networks of connected devices, such as enterprise computer networks or the wider so-called Internet of Things, are all vulnerable to misuse and attack, and data science methods offer the promise to detect such behaviours from the vast collections of cyber traffic data sources that can be obtained. In many cases, this is achieved through anomaly detection of unusual behaviour against understood statistical models of normality. This volume presents contributed papers from an international conference of the same name held at Imperial College. Experts from the field have provided their latest discoveries and review state of the art technologies.

FUZZY LOGIC THEORY AND APPLICATIONS

by David Kuo Chuen Lee & Linda Low (Singapore University of Social Sciences, Singapore)

The principal problem with the existing decision theories is that they do not have capabilities to deal with such environment. Up to now, no books where decision theories based on all generalizations level of information are considered. Thus, this self-containing volume intends to overcome this gap between realworld settings’ decisions and their formal analysis.

£130

by Lotfi A Zadeh (UC Berkeley) & Rafik A Aliev (Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Azerbaijan) Nowadays, voluminous textbooks and monographs in fuzzy logic are devoted only to separate or some combination of separate facets of fuzzy logic.

NEW MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL COMPUTATION (NMNC) http://www.worldscientific.com/nmnc Managing Editor: Paul P Wang (Duke University)

About NMNC: Aims & Scope 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 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.
