Abstract

The objective of the third part of this book is to present a path for transferring computational intelligence from the realm of exciting research ideas into a highly competitive generator of valuable solutions to real-world problems. The proposed application strategy begins in this chapter by emphasizing the importance of integrating various approaches for resolving real-world problems. Various ways to introduce, apply, and leverage computational intelligence in a business are discussed in Chap. 12. Chapter 13 presents different techniques for addressing one of the key issues in the application strategy of computational intelligence – marketing the technology to technical and nontechnical audiences. The last chapter in the third part, Chap. 14, includes examples of successful and failed industrial applications.
