Computational intelligence (CI) usually refers to the ability of a computer to learn a specific task from data or experimental observation. The principal constituents of CI are fuzzy logic (FL), evolutionary computation (EC), machine learning (ML) and probabilistic reasoning (PR), etc.

The development of computational intelligence systems was inspired by observable and imitable aspects of intelligent activity in human beings and nature. The essence of systems based on computational intelligence is to process and interpret data of various natures so that CI is strictly connected with the increase of available data as well as capabilities of their processing, mutually supportive factors. Without them, the development of this field would be almost impossible, and its application practically marginal. That is why these techniques have developed
particularly in recent years. Developed theories of computational intelligence have been quickly applied in many fields of engineering, data analysis, forecasting, biomedicine and others. They are used in image and sound processing and identification, signal processing, multidimensional data visualisation, steering of objects, analysis of lexicographic data, requesting systems in banking, diagnostic systems, expert systems, and many other practical implementations.

This special issue aims at presenting the latest developments, trends, research solutions and applications of computational intelligence to modelling and engineering problems with effective use of fuzzy logic control, neural
networks and biology-inspired optimisation techniques, etc.

We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate continuing efforts to improve the current state of the art in the aforementioned fields.
