Soft Computing

Soft computing is an evolving collection of methodologies, which aims to exploit tolerance for imprecision uncertainty, and partial truth to achieve robustness, tractability, and low cost. It can be a very attractive alternative to a purely digital system, but there are many traps waiting for researches trying to apply this new exciting technology. Software computing provides attractive opportunity to represent the ambiguity in human thinking with real life uncertainty. Fuzzy logic, Neural Networks, and Evolutionary Computation are the core methodologies of soft computing. For nonlinear processing both neural networks and fuzzy systems can be used.
