Computational Intelligence: Past, Today, and Future

Abstract

Computational intelligence is defined as the study of the design of intelligent agents. Since its relation to other branches of computer science is not well-defined, computational intelligence means different things to different people. In this chapter the history of computational intelligence with a wide literature review will be first given. Then, a detailed classification of the existing methodologies will be made. Later, the international computational intelligence journals will be handled and the characteristics of these journals will be examined. As an example, a special literature review on computational intelligence in complex decision systems will be also given. The direction of computational intelligence in the future will be evaluated.
