The present book includes a set of selected revised and extended versions of the best papers presented at the 14th and 15th International Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence (IJCCI 2022 and IJCCI 2023) – held respectively in Valletta, Malta, between October 24–26, 2022 and Rome, Italy, between November 13–15. We focus on three outstanding fields of Computational Intelligence through the selected panel, namely: Evolutionary Computation, Fuzzy Computation and Neural Computation. Beside presenting the recent advances of the selected areas, the book aims to aggregate new and innovative solutions for confirmed researchers, and on the other hand to provide a source of information and/or inspiration for young interested researchers or learners in the ever expanding and current filed of Computational Intelligence. It could constitute a precious provision of knowledge for individual researchers as well as represent a valuable sustenance for collective use in academic libraries (ofuniversities and engineering schools) relating innovative techniques in various fields of applications.

Soft computing techniques have reached a significant level of recognition and - ceptance from both the academic and industrial communities. The papers collected in this volume illustrate the depth of the current theoretical research trends and the breadth of the application areas in which soft computing methods are making c- tributions. This volume consists of forty six selected papers presented at the Fourth Inter- tional Conference on Recent Advances in Soft Computing, which was held in N- th th tingham, United Kingdom on 12 and 13 December 2002 at Nottingham Trent University. This volume is organized in five parts. The first four parts address mainly the f- damental and theoretical advances in soft computing, namely Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computing, Fuzzy Systems and Hybrid Systems. The fifth part of this volume presents papers that deal with practical issues and ind- trial applications of soft computing techniques. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the authors who submitted contributions for inclusion. We are also indebted to Janusz Kacprzyk for his - vices related to this volume. We hope you find the volume an interesting refl- tion of current theoretical and application based soft computing research.
