When people or computers need to make a decision, typically
multiple conflicting criteria need to be evaluated; for example,
when we buy a car, we need to consider safety, cost and comfort.
Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) has been researched for
decades. Now as the rising trend of big-data analytics in
supporting decision making, MCDM can be more powerful when combined
with state-of-the-art analytics and machine learning. In this book,
the authors introduce a new framework of MCDM, which can lead to
more accurate decision making. Several real-world cases will be
included to illustrate the new hybrid approaches.
This volume of Advances in Soft Computing and Lecture Notes in
Computer th Science vols. 5551, 5552 and 5553, constitute the
Proceedings of the 6 Inter- tional Symposium of Neural Networks
(ISNN 2009) held in Wuhan, China during May 26-29, 2009. ISNN is a
prestigious annual symposium on neural networks with past events
held in Dalian (2004), Chongqing (2005), Chengdu (2006), N- jing
(2007) and Beijing (2008). Over the past few years, ISNN has
matured into a well-established series of international conference
on neural networks and their applications to other fields.
Following this tradition, ISNN 2009 provided an a- demic forum for
the participants to disseminate their new research findings and
discuss emerging areas of research. Also, it created a stimulating
environment for the participants to interact and exchange
information on future research challenges and opportunities of
neural networks and their applications. ISNN 2009 received 1,235
submissions from about 2,459 authors in 29 co- tries and regions
(Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Democratic People's Republic of
Korea, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Islamic
Republic of Iran, Japan, Jordan, Macao, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway,
Qatar, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand,
Tunisia, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela, Vietnam, and
Yemen) across six continents (Asia, Europe, North America, South
America, Africa, and Oceania). Based on rigorous reviews by the
Program Committee members and reviewers, 95 high-quality papers
were selected to be published in this volume.

Reservoir releases for generating power need to be reconciled to
maintain healthy ecosystems in regulated rivers. Fluctuating,
complex flow patterns near river obstructions such as boulders
provide unique habitat for many aquatic organisms. In this book,
the ability of two- and three- dimensional hydraulic models to
reproduce the localized complex flow features at both steady and
unsteady flows is examined. The performance of the hydraulic models
is evaluated by comparing the numerical results with measurements
of flow around boulders located at a reach of the Smith River in
Virginia, U.S.A. Further, time-dependent flow features affecting
channel morphology and aquatic physical habitat are investigated.
Issues related to the adoption of either a truly dynamic modeling
approach or a quasi-steady methodology for simulating unsteady
flows are examined through a proposed unsteadiness flow parameter.
The insights obtained from this study can assist in properly
accounting for the impact of hydropeaking operations on fish
habitat and instream flow management.
