Soft Computing for Smart Environments: Techniques and Applications

This book applies both industrial engineering and computational intelligence 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 engineers 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, decision 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 undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in advanced MCDM techniques for management and engineering in relation to smart environments.

本書將工業工程和計算智能應用於展示在各種智能環境中解決實際問題的智能機器。它介紹了多準則決策方法（MCDM）的基本概念和最新進展，以及它們在智能環境中的應用。儘管管理者和工程師在做出複雜決策時經常使用多準則分析，但許多核心問題在數學建模方面太難或者根本還沒有被建模。

為了應對這一情況，《智能環境的軟計算》除了討論基於人工智能的方法外，還涵蓋了各種優化技術、決策分析和數據科學，應用軟計算技術於一系列明確的智能環境，包括智能和可持續城市、災害應對系統和智能校園。

這本最新的書籍對於本科生、研究生、研究人員、從業人員和決策者來說都是必讀之物，對於管理和工程領域中與智能環境相關的先進MCDM技術感興趣的人來說尤其重要。
