Computational Intelligence: From Theory to Practice

Proceedings of the Information Technology Symposium at the 2004 Civil Engineering Conference and Exposition, held in Baltimore, Maryland, October 20-23, 2004. Sponsored by the Technical Council on Computing and Information Technology of ASCE.

This collection contains eight papers describingthe many applications of computational intelligence in civil engineering practice. Papers discuss the bridge between the theory and practice of computational intelligence issues to derive a better understanding of the correct application of these tools to civil engineering practice.

Topics include:

• neural networks,
• genetic algorithms,
• evolutionary algorithms,
• complex systems and
• cellular automata.
