✦ Synopsis

The book contains 37 papers presented at the ninth edition of the International Conference of Computers, Communications and Control―ICCCC-2022 held in Oradea and Băile Felix, Romania. A balanced selection of both methodological and application-oriented papers has been made to reflect several recent worldwide trends and results. The book is organized into five sections: a) integrated solutions in computer-based control, b) advanced control systems integrating computers and communications, c) soft computing including fuzzy system approach, d) decision making and support systems, and e) trustworthy and green design. The study of the papers contained in the book is useful for researchers, consultants, and postgraduate students in computer science and design, applied informatics, control systems, and industrial engineering. The book is also used as auxiliary material for student-level courses such as artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, and decision support systems.
