This book presents the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Frontiers of
Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA-2017)  held in Bhubaneswar  Odisha. The
event brought together researchers  scientists  engineers  and practitioners to exchange their
new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective
applications to various engineering disciplines. The book is divided into two volumes:
Information and Decision Sciences  and Intelligent Engineering Informatics. This volume covers
broad areas of Information and Decision Sciences  with papers exploring both the theoretical
and practical aspects of data-intensive computing  data mining  evolutionary computation 
knowledge management & networks  sensor networks  signal processing  wireless networks
