Soft Computing for
Smart Environments
This book applies both industrial engineering and computational intelli-
gence to demonstrate intelligent machines that solve real-world problems
in various smart environments. It presents fundamental concepts and the
latest advances in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques
and their application to smart environments. Though managers and engi-
neers often use multi-criteria analysis in making complex decisions, many
core problems are too difficult to model mathematically or have simply
not yet been modeled.
In response, as well as discussing AI-based approaches, Soft Computing
for Smart Environments covers various optimization techniques, deci-
sion analytics, and data science in applying soft computing techniques
to a defined set of smart environments, including smart and sustainable
cities, disaster response systems, and smart campuses.
This state-of-the-art book will be essential reading for both undergradu-
ate and graduate students, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers
interested in advanced MCDM techniques for management and engineer-
ing in relation to smart environments.
