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
protocols & architectures etc. The book also offers a valuable resource for students at the
