The term "Artificial Intelligence" has been used since 1956 and has become a very popular research field. AI Techniques have been used in almost any domain. The term "Applied Intelligence" was created to represent its practicality. It emphasizes applications of applied intelligent systems to solve real-life problems in all areas including engineering, science, industry, automation, robotics, business, finance, medicine, biomedicine, bioinformatics, cyberspace, man-machine interactions, etc. The International Conference on Industrial, Engineering & Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA-AIE) seeks for quality papers on applied intelligence that incorporate all kinds of real life problems. The objective of the conference was to bring together scientists, engineers and practitioners, who work on designing or developing applications that use intelligent techniques or work on intelligent techniques and apply them to application domains. The book is comprises of 12 parts including 52 chapters providing an up-to-date and state-of-the research on the applications of artificial Intelligence techniques.
