Learning and Approximation: Theoretical Foundations and Applications
Volume (s) Editors: Ajith Abraham, Aboul-Ella Hassanien, and Athanasios Vasilakos To be published in "Studies in Computational Intelligence" published by Springer Verlag, Germany Book Aim and Objective Approximation and Learning algorithms are fundamental tools that deal with computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is gradually disclosed over time. Both kinds of problems have a large number of applications arising from a variety of fields, such as algorithmic game theory, approximation classes, coloring and partitioning, competitive analysis, computational finance, cuts and connectivity, geometric problems, inapproximability results, mechanism design, network design, packing and covering, paradigms for design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms, randomization techniques, real-world applications, and scheduling problems. The past years have witnessed a large number of interesting applications of various computational intelligence techniques, such as rough sets, Neural Networks; Fuzzy Logic; Evolutionary Computing; Artificial Immune Systems; Swarm Intelligence; Reinforcement Learning and evolutionary computation, to intelligent multimedia processing. In spite of numerous successful applications of computational intelligence techniques in business and industry, it is sometimes difficult to explain from a theoretical perspective. Therefore, we encourage authors to present original chapter dealing with the incorporation of such CI techniques into Learning and Approximation algorithms and processes. Topics
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Submission Guidelines and important dates Researchers and practitioners are kindly invited to send on or before June 15 2008 a short email to
containing a preliminary title and a short abstract of their chapter. This will facilitate the planning of the review process. All chapter proposals will be peer reviewed. Full chapters will be expected by July 30 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed by at least three reviewers on a double-blind review basis.
Original artwork and a signed copyright release forms will be required for all accepted chapters.

About the series "Studies in Computational Intelligence"
The series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" (SCI) publishes new developments and advances in the various areas of computational intelligence – quickly and with a high quality. The intent is to cover the theory, applications, and design methods of computational intelligence, as embedded in the fields of engineering, computer science, physics and life science, as well as the methodologies behind them. The series contains monographs, lecture notes and edited volumes in computational intelligence spanning the areas of neural networks, connectionist systems, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence, cellular automata, self-organizing systems, soft computing, fuzzy systems, and hybrid intelligent systems. Critical to both contributors and readers are the short publication time and world-wide distribution - this permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results. Instructions for Authors (Preparation of Manuscripts)Careful preparation of the manuscripts will help keep production time short and ensure satisfactory appearance of the finished book. Please prepare the manuscript using the author guidelines and format given in the following link: http://www.softcomputing.net/cec06/author-kit.zip Contact information
