Focusing on the methodology of cluster analysis, this book explores how to categorize unlabeled objects into distinct groups based on their similarities. It presents clustering as an optimization problem and illustrates concepts through various real-world examples, making complex ideas more accessible and applicable.

This book presents the proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology (WSTST '05), May 25-27, 2005, Muroran, Japan. It brings together the original work of international soft computing/computational intelligence researchers, developers, practitioners, and users. This proceedings provide contributions to all areas of soft computing including intelligent hybrid systems, agent-based systems, intelligent data mining, decision support systems, cognitive and reactive distributed artificial intelligence (AI), internet modelling, human interface, and applications in science and technology.
The International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2011 (DCAI 2011) serves as a dynamic forum for the scientific community to foster collaboration in the fields of Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence. This conference highlights innovative techniques applied to complex problems, showcasing the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on society. Its applications in distributed environments—such as the internet, e-commerce, environmental monitoring, mobile communications, and wireless devices—are rapidly expanding, offering significant social and economic benefits across industry, quality of life, and research. The continuous evolution of these technologies is driven by extensive research efforts in both academic and industrial settings. Facilitating the exchange of ideas among scientists and technicians is crucial for developing systems that address contemporary societal needs. This edition of DCAI consolidates past experiences, current research, and promising trends in distributed computing and artificial intelligence, aiming to provide efficient solutions to real-world challenges. Organized by the Bioinformatics, Intelligent System and Educational Technology Research Group at the University of Salamanca, the symposium took place in Salamanca, Spain, from April 6 to 8, 2011.
