In this volume recent advances in the use of modern quantitative models for the analysis of various problems related to the dynamics of social and economic systems are presented. The majority chapters describe tools and techniques of broadly perceived computational intelligence, notably fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, neural networks and some non-standard probabilistic and statistical analyses. Due to the high complexity of the systems and problems considered, in many situations it is necessary to consider at the same time analytic, topological and statistical aspects and apply appropriate procedures and algorithms. This volume is a direct result of vivid discussions held during the Fifth International Workshop on Dynamics of Social and Economical Systems (DYSES) which was held at Benevento, Italy September 20-25, 2010, as well as a couple of post-workshop meetings and consultations.

Advanced Dynamic Modeling of Economic and Social Systems

The developments of fuzzy systems and fuzzy logic is permeating through the diverse branches of science where uncertainty has to be considered laying on the foundations and applicative developments. CIFT and MEPP conferences have been held in different venues in Scandinavia and Italy since 1990, and have stimulated the attention from academia and industry toward the novelties introduced by fuzzy logic and fuzzy systems theory. The papers presented in this volume are concerned with a wide vision of modern perspectives of science. These cover research areas such as management, financial and economic applications, urbanism and ecology, astronomical engineering, medical diagnosis and imaging, and human behavior.
