Advances in Soft Computing Techniques and Applications

between cities are unstable in time. The second paper, written by Nuser, presents a molecular-inspired computing approach to solve the classical three-partition problem. Besides the computational complexity, the approach is investigated in terms of specific elements, such as number of strands, tubes and the longest library strand. In the third paper, Singh et al. adopted the features of an ABC ...

Soft Computing Techniques in Content-Based Multimedia Information Retrieval

In the last years, the growing dissemination of digital information and the consequent need to improve the retrieval of this information have given rise to a strong interest for the research in Information Retrieval (IR), a field that is expanding along with the challenges related to the explosion of the Web and the development of information and communication technologies. The diffusion of new...

Medical Decision Support Systems based on Soft Computing techniques

Medical Decision Support Systems (MDSS) are very important constructions that are incorporated into Intelligent Information E-Health Systems aiming to produce warnings or to consult and suggest clinical judgments either to inexperienced medical professionals or in their lighter versions to the general public through medical advisors websites. Soft Computing (SC) techniques, especially those tha...

Modeling human behavior in user-adaptive systems: Recent advances using soft computing techniques

Adaptive Hypermedia systems are becoming more important in our everyday activities and users are expecting more intelligent services from them. The key element of a generic adaptive hypermedia system is the user model. Traditional machine learning techniques used to create user models are usually too rigid to capture the inherent uncertainty of human behavior. In this context, soft computing te...
