Evolution in Computational Intelligence: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Frontiers in Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications, Ficta 2022

The book presents the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA 2022), held at NIT Mizoram, Aizawl, Mizoram, India during 18 – 19 June 2022. Researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners exchange new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective applications in various engineering disciplines in the book. These proceedings are divided into two volumes. It 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 and networks, sensor networks, signal processing, wireless networks, protocols and architectures. This volume is a valuable resource for postgraduate students in various engineering disciplines.
