Preface
The fields of computer science and computer engineering are rich within them-
selves such that they are comprised of a vast amount of areas, such that most books
decide to better separate their contents into specialized areas, ignoring the rest
of their field. But this book takes on a different point of view when compared to
most of existing literature, that is, to collect from different areas within these two
fields to demonstrate the great variety which exists, where by harboring different
contributed research chapters in a single book, instead of granular specialized areas,
the concept of the complete fields is once again grasped.
As computer science and computer engineering are two different fields, they
have more in common than differences; therefore, the objective of this book is to
convey their involvement in society by showing advances in theoretical practices,
new uses for existing concepts, and applications.
This book is intended as a reference for pre-graduate students who wish to know
more about advances in the fields of computer science and computer engineering, or
acquire ideas as to what types of areas can be researched, exploited, or applied; for
graduate students and researchers, who might need to know the current state of
included contributed research, as well as acquire ideas for their own research; and
for professionals, who would want to know the current state of their fields, get ideas
to solve problems at their workplace, or simply to get a sense of direction as to
where these fields are going.
The contents of this book traverse various areas in the fields of computer
science and computer engineering, such as software engineering, computational
intelligence, artificial intelligence, complex systems, systems, engineering, and
embedded systems.

Provided diversity in the contents of this book is the strength between its covers,
we hope that readers enjoy our book and find some utility within its covers. And
that they start seeing that the fields of computer science and computer engineering
can also be seen as complete and diverse fields, instead of only parts of them.
