From the reviews: "This compendium contains an excellent summary of the past, present, and future of the field of artificial intelligence or machine learning, now more appropriately named as computational intelligence. ...This compendium is particularly valuable not only for its thorough coverage, but also for the numerous resources provided with every chapter ... . This material gives the reader an excellent foundation for further study, making this a valuable reference for those in the area. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate, research, faculty, and professional collections." (J. Y. Cheung, Choice, Vol. 46 (6), February, 2009) "Computational intelligence (CI) was in real need of this compendium, as it is an exhaustive summary that explores the theory of intelligence, through possible computational means. ... This compendium is essential reading for researchers with an interest in the field; it could also serve as a resource for a doctoral thesis or various research projects, as it refers to literature that covers every aspect of the field and provides promising solutions to CI open problems." (Mario Aoun, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
