This two-volume book presents outcomes of the 7th International Conference on Soft Computing
for Problem Solving SocProS 2017. This conference is a joint technical collaboration between
the Soft Computing Research Society Liverpool Hope University (UK) the Indian Institute of
Technology Roorkee the South Asian University New Delhi and the National Institute of
Technology Silchar and brings together researchers engineers and practitioners to discuss
thought-provoking developments and challenges in order to select potential future directions
The book presents the latest advances and innovations in the interdisciplinary areas of soft
computing including original research papers in the areas including but not limited to
algorithms (artificial immune systems artificial neural networks genetic algorithms genetic
programming and particle swarm optimization) and applications (control systems data mining
and clustering finance weather forecasting game theory business and forecasting
applications). It is a valuable resource for both young and experienced researchers dealing
with complex and intricate real-world problems for which finding a solution by traditional
methods is a difficult task.
