✦ Synopsis

Specialists are paying attention to the growing concern for environmental issues. Artificial Intelligence Systems in Environmental Engineering uses techniques from the field of Artificial Intelligence as the alternative to address problems that are difficult to model by analytical methods. The book provides a general study and introduces a set of techniques for environmental engineering. With a particular focus on climate change and energy policy, it discusses innovative solutions and models that can positively influence and increase the efficiency of resource use and decrease the impact on the environment while developing the well-being of individuals. The book will be of most interest to research students who have a scientific approach and deal with problems related to environmental engineering.
