Prasad Preface Human progress is characterized by passing through information innovation intelligent society at present. Machines (systems) produced by the genius of man in the near future will not only be smarter than a man, but will also exceed its intelligent mind. Intelligent machines will be of different sizes, shapes and functionality, equipped with an initial program (technogene), and their ability to learn and perform operations will not only depend on the technogene, but also on what the machines will be trained for. All of this is conditioned by the intellectualization of all systems and technological processes that humankind realizes, using the paradigm of developing by which everything must become sensory and motoric, with the ability to make decisions. Smart machines help people to not only make use of their own intellect, but to also grow smarter themselves. Intelligent systems are able to self-train, make their own decisions to support management activities in financial institutions, economics, energetics, logistics, industrial, commercial and social systems, remotely piloted satellite monitoring systems of the broad-spectrum application and communication systems with remote distribution of intelligence for improvement of reliability of an intelligent system in whole. In addition to that, they can also be used for governing a state, control of a holding company, a concern or a firm, as well as for early recognition and prediction of sustainability and prolongation of life, for achieving the maximum increase of functional creative and cognitive human life activity and supporting personal and social safety. Intelligent systems can be used as authoritative advisers/consultants for all sorts of questions, but will also be able to solve a large number of incipient problems that are a result of human interference, can acquire new knowledge operating with semantic, pragmatic, heuristic and hyper-heuristic features of intelligent information in the process of generating and approximating to a functional model of natural intelligence. They can also produce adaptive, self-learning, self-organizing cognitive systems making it possible to disclose new secrets of nature and produce even more intelligent devices, machines, technologies and productions. An intelligent system is an automatic or automated system with a possibility of internal and external sensing, based on using artificial intelligence, and includes the following features: X Preface  Self-learning – being able to not only execute underlying and designed-in functions and programs, but also have the ability to adapt them according to the task assigned  Self-organization – an ability to change its structure and architecture according to the task assigned, or for the purpose of improvement in the process of self- learning, self-diagnostics and self-preservation  Capability of solving problems that standard methods and/or solution algorithms can not solve or are unknown For the first time, the research presented in this book is that of scientists from many countries, like Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Greece, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, United Kingdom, USA and Vietnam. It will be useful to a wide range of readers, especially students, young scientists, engineers and businessmen/investors taking a great interest in innovations in the future.
