Summary

The two volume set LNCS 4431 and LNCS 4432 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms, ICANNGA 2007, held in Warsaw, Poland, in April 2007. The 178 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 474 submissions. The 94 papers of the first volume are organized in topical sections on evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, learning, optimization and games, fuzzy and rough systems, just as classification and clustering. The second volume contains 84 contributions related to neural networks, support vector machines, biomedical signal and image processing, biometrics, computer vision, as well as to control and robotics.
