About this Series
The Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies book series encompasses the
topics of knowledge, intelligence, innovation and sustainability. The aim of the
seriesistomakeavailableaplatformforthepublicationofbooksonallaspectsof
single and multi-disciplinary research on these themes in order to make the latest
resultsavailableinareadily-accessibleform.Volumesoninterdisciplinaryresearch
combining two or more of these areas is particularly sought.
The series covers systems and paradigms that employ knowledge and
intelligence in a broad sense. Its scope is systems having embedded knowledge
and intelligence, which may be applied to the solution of world problems in
industry, the environment and the community. It also focusses on the knowledge-
transfer methodologies and innovation strategies employed to make this happen
effectively. The combination of intelligent systems tools and a broad range of
applications introduces a need for a synergy of disciplines from science,
technology, business and the humanities. The series will include conference
proceedings, edited collections, monographs, handbooks, reference books, and
other relevant types of book in areas of science and technology where smart
systems and technologies can offer innovative solutions.

Preface
The current volume includes the research results presented at the Seventh Inter-
national Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies (KES-IDT 2015) which
took place during June 17–19, 2015, in Sorrento, Italy.
KES-IDT is a well-established international annual conference, an interdisci-
plinary conference in nature, and this edition consisted of keynote talks, oral and
posterpresentations,invitedsessions,andworkshopsontheapplicationsandtheory
ofintelligentdecisionsystemsandrelatedareas.Itprovidedexcellentopportunities
for the presentation of interesting new research results and discussion about them,
leading to knowledge transfer and generation of new ideas.
Sorrento is a town and commune in Campania, southern Italy, with approxi-
mately16,500inhabitants.ItisapopulartouristdestinationoverlookingtheBayof
