"Bio-Inspired Hybrid Intelligent Systems for Image Analysis and Pattern Recognition" comprises papers on diverse aspects of bio-inspired models, soft computing and hybrid intelligent systems. The articles are divided in four main parts. The first one consists of papers that propose new fuzzy and bio-inspired models to solve general problems. The second part deals with the main theme of modular neural networks in pattern recognition, which are basically papers using bio-inspired techniques. The third part contains papers that apply hybrid intelligent systems to the problem of time series analysis and prediction, while the fourth one shows papers dealing with bio-inspired models in optimization and robotics applications. An edited book where both theoretical and application aspects are covered.
