Computational Intelligence in Sustainable Computing and Optimization: Trends and Applications focuses on developing and evolving advanced computational intelligence algorithms for the analysis of data involved in applications such as agriculture, biomedical systems, bioinformatics, business intelligence, economics, disaster management, e-learning, education management, financial management, and environmental policies. The book presents research in sustainable computing and optimization, combining methods from engineering, mathematics, and computer science to optimize environmental resources. Computational intelligence in the field of sustainable computing combines computer science and engineering in applications ranging from Internet of Things (IoT), information security systems, smart storage, Cloud computing, intelligent transport management, cognitive and bio-inspired computing, and management science. Data intelligence techniques play a critical role in sustainable computing. Recent advances in data management, data modelling, data analysis and artificial intelligence are finding applications in energy networks and thus making our environment more sustainable. The field of optimization is well-known and has a diverse range of applications, including route finding problems, medical treatment, construction, finance, accounting, engineering, and maintenance schedules. Optimizing real-world problems requires understanding their nature, grouping them properly, and employing appropriate techniques that can resolve them efficiently. Nature-inspired computational algorithms have been shown to provide robust solutions for emerging and substantiated problems by utilizing heuristic algorithms. Heuristic techniques aim to find the optimal solution to the query in a timely manner. There are several categories of computational intelligence based on nature, including artificial immune systems, evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, artificial neural networks, and geoscience-based algorithms, and these are applied by the authors of the book to solve various problems in sustainable computing.

Assessment is a very important component of human activities because it helps in determining possible mistakes and in improving performance by preventing the repeat of such mistakes in future. Fuzzy Methods for Assessment and Decision Making presents the assessment of learning and problem-solving skills with qualitative grades. These methods are outcomes of the author’s research work on the subject for more than 20 years. In particular, a hybrid assessment model is developed using the Center of Gravity (COG) defuzzification technique, closed real intervals (grey numbers), neutrosophic sets and soft sets as tools. The book starts with the basic mathematical background which is needed for the understanding of its contents. The Rectangular Fuzzy Assessment Model (RFAM) of Subbotin and Voskoglou is presented next, the outcomes of which are compared to those of the GPA index. The necessary information follows regarding the learning and problem-solving processes, and the book then presents the hybrid assessment model. Dr. Voskoglou presents innovative fuzzy assessment methods, enabling the reader to assess the mean and quality performance of learning or problem-solving skills of a group of students when qualitative (linguistic) grades are used for this purpose. In the case of using linguistic grades for the assessment of a group’s skills, the classical method of calculating the mean value of the (numerical) grades cannot be applied. Also, no safe conclusions can be obtained on comparing the quality performance of two groups when the values of their GPA index are equal. The fuzzy assessment methods presented in this book solve these problems. Further, the use of neutrosophic sets enables readers to obtain safer results when there are doubts about the accuracy of the grades assigned to students, while the use of soft sets enables a parametric assessment of the group's overall performance. Furthermore, the book presents a variety of applications of Fuzzy assessment as well as the principles and application of fuzzy decision making, which is fundamental for a wide variety of AI, machine learning, computational intelligence, and knowledge engineering applications.

Recent advances in AI and Mechanism Design provide a vital tool for solving collective action problems, common in international relations. By using AI to optimize mechanisms for cooperation and coordination, we can better address issues such as climate change, trade, and security. Mechanism Design, Behavioral Science and Artificial Intelligence in International Relations shows readers how the intersection of Mechanism Design and Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the way we approach international relations. By using AI to optimize mechanisms, we can design better institutions, policies, and agreements that are more effective and efficient. Dr. Tshilidzi Marwala, United Nations University Rector and UN Under-Secretary General, presents the essential technologies used in Game Theory, Mechanism Design and AI and applies these to significant global issues such as interstate conflict, cybersecurity, and energy. International relations are a complex field, with many different actors and interests in play. By incorporating AI into our analysis and decision-making processes, we can better understand and predict the behavior of multiple actors and design mechanisms that take these behaviors into account, thereby producing more desirable and creative interdisciplinary approaches. The book presents real-world applications of these rapidly evolving technologies in crucial research fields such as Interstate Conflict, International Trade, Climate Change, Water management, Energy, cybersecurity, and global finance.
