This book applies both industrial engineering and computational intelligence to demonstrate intelligent machines that solve real-world problems in various smart environments. It presents fundamental concepts and the latest advances in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques and their application to smart environments. Though managers and engineers often use multi-criteria analysis in making complex decisions, many core problems are too difficult to model mathematically or have simply not yet been modeled.

In response, as well as discussing AI-based approaches, Soft Computing for Smart Environments covers various optimization techniques, decision analytics, and data science in applying soft computing techniques to a defined set of smart environments, including smart and sustainable cities, disaster response systems, and smart campuses.

This state-of-the-art book will be essential reading for both undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in advanced MCDM techniques for management and engineering in relation to smart environments.
