Intelligence Enabled Research DoSIER 2019

This book gathers extended versions of papers presented at DoSIER 2019 (the First Doctoral Symposium on Intelligence Enabled Research, organized by RCC Institute of Information Technology, Kolkata, India). The papers address the rapidly expanding research area of computational intelligence, which, no longer limited to specific computational fields, has since made inroads in signal processing, smart manufacturing, predictive control, robot navigation, smart cities, and sensor design, to name but a few. Presenting chapters written by experts active in these areas, the book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers and industrial practitioners alike, and will inspire future studies.
