This volume introduces new approaches in intelligent control area from
both the viewpoints of theory and application. It consists of eleven contributions
by prominent authors from all over the world and an introductory chapter. This
volume is strongly connected to another volume entitled "New Approaches in
Intelligent Image Analysis" (Eds. Roumen Kountchev and Kazumi Nakamatsu).
The chapters of
this volume are self-contained and include summary, conclusion and future
works. Some of the chapters introduce specific case studies of various intelligent
control systems and others focus on intelligent theory based control techniques
with applications. A remarkable specificity of this volume is that three
chapters are dealing with intelligent control based on paraconsistent logics.
