This book gives a detailed information of various soft computing techniques across various fields for solving relevant, real-life problems. The authors, all female leaders in the field, show how soft computing uses approximate calculations to provide imprecise yet usable solutions to complex computational problems. This enables solutions for problems that may be either unsolvable or too time-consuming to solve with current hardware. The authors show how these techniques, when applied, have proven to be efficient and robust in many difficult situations. As an important part of the Women in Science and Engineering book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in soft computing, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure the future in the field.
