Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce the availability of our book

The Puzzle of Granular Computing
Springer, Studies  in Computational Intelligence, Vol. 138
ISBN 978-3-540-79863-7


The goal of this book is to bring the fundamental issues of  
information granularity, inference tools and problem solving  
procedures into a coherent, unified, and fully operational framework.  
The objective is to offer the reader a comprehensive, self-contained,  
and uniform exposure to the subject. The strategy is to isolate some  
fundamental bricks of Computational Intelligence in terms of key  
problems and methods, and discuss their implementation and underlying  
rationale within a well structured and rigorous conceptual framework  
as well as carefully related to various application facets.  The main  
assumption is that a deep understanding of the key problems will allow  
the reader to compose into a meaningful mosaic the puzzle pieces  
represented by the  immense varieties of approaches present in the  
literature and in the computational practice.  All in all, the main  
approach advocated in the monograph consists of a sequence of steps  
offering solid conceptual fundamentals, presenting a carefully  
selected collection of design methodologies, discussing a wealth of  
development guidelines, and exemplifying them with a pertinent,  
accurately selected illustrative material.


The book can be ordered to Springer or on-line at amazon.com:
