Description

The objective of IJSCN is to link the rich methodological repertoire of soft computing with the challenging demands and design opportunities of present day communication networks. The widespread use of the Internet has given further opportunities for providing new services and web-based applications as well as the appearance of networking paradigms in new fields of computing. Related applications are often characterised by high complexity while the number of standards for applications is rapidly increasing. Representing such problems as classical optimisation problems may not guarantee exact analytical solutions anymore and the need for advanced solution techniques has become prevalent. Soft computing techniques and their underlying effort-precision trade-off provide a wealth of methods to handle tasks in complex application domains. Such techniques include evolutionary computing, tabu search, simulated annealing, hybrid methods, ensemble methods, swarm intelligence, fuzzy reasoning and fuzzy information and processing, neural network-based computation and evolving intelligent systems, among many others.
