Abstract

The need for intelligent systems has grown in the past decade because of the increasing demand on humans and machines for better performance. One of the reasons for this increasing demand is that we are passing through an era of information explosion, information globalization and consequently ever increasing competition. The information explosion has put huge constraints on time in which decisions have to be made. Today knowledge has become an important strategic resource to help humans deal with the complexity and sheer quantum of information. This strategic resource will help them to enhance their own performance and that of the machines they work with. The areas like knowledge discovery and data mining and soft computing are the latest manifestations of intelligent systems and knowledge in general.
