"The book presents a thorough exposition of the main concepts of computational intelligence. ... It is an interesting book that may serve very well a wide audience, providing material for researchers, students as well as people working in industry." (Catalin Stoean, zbMATH 1500.68001, 2023)

"The authors have written Computational intelligence in such a way that it can serve as both a textbook and a helpful reference book for students and practitioners of computing science and related fields. The presentation is careful and friendly yet technically sound." (Soubhik Chakraborty, Computing Reviews, March 7, 2023)
