Foundations
This chapter introduces general terms
used to discuss computational intelligence
as well as component methodologies—
computational intelligence (CI), including
artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and
evolutionary computation—astheyareused
in this text. We review the biological bases
for artificial neural network and evolution-
ary computation analysis tools, including
the differences between biological struc-
tures and these analysis tools, and we
discuss the behavioral motivations for fuzzy
systems. The chapter ends with a review of
myths related to implementations and appli-
cations of CI and its component technolo-
gies, and a
