Springer SOCO 2018-CISIS 2018-ICEUTE 2018 Proceedings Vol 771

This academic volume contains the official proceedings from the International Joint Conference held in San Sebastian, Spain, in June 2018. It brings together research from SOCO 2018, CISIS 2018, and ICEUTE 2018, providing a comprehensive look at recent developments in soft computing. Soft computing serves as a vital set of computational techniques used across machine learning, computer science, and various engineering disciplines. These methods are used to investigate, simulate, and analyze highly complex issues and phenomena. This collection is part of the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing series, volume 771. Each paper included in this book underwent a rigorous peer-review process. The 13th SOCO 2018 International Program Committee selected 41 high-quality papers for publication. The research presented here places a special focus on optimization, modeling, and control through the application of soft computing techniques, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students in the field of artificial intelligence.
