About the Authors
Fábio M. Soares holds a master's degree in applied computing from UFPA and
is currently a PhD candidate at the same university. He has been designing neural
network solutions since 2004 and has developed applications with this technique in
several elds, ranging from telecommunications to chemistry process modeling, and
his research topics cover supervised learning for data-driven modeling.
He is also self-employed, offering services such as IT infrastructure management as
well as database administration to a number of small- and medium-sized companies
in northern Brazil. In the past, he has worked for big companies such as Albras, one
of the most important aluminium smelters in the world, and Eletronorte, a great
power supplier in Brazil. He also has experience as a lecturer, having worked at the
Federal Rural University of Amazon and as a Faculty of Castanhal, both in the state
of Pará, teaching subjects involving programming and articial intelligence.
He has published a number of works, many of them available in English, all
including the topics of articial intelligence applied to some problem. His
publications include conference proceedings, such as the TMS (The Minerals Metals
and Materials Society), Light Metals and the Intelligent Data Engineering and
Automated Learning. He has also has published two book chapters for Intech.
I would like to give a special acknowledgement to God for having
given me the opportunity to get access to rich knowledge on this
theme, which I simply love doing research on. Special thanks to my
family, my father, Josafá, and mother, Maria Alice (in memoriam),
who would be very proud of me for this book, and also my brother,
Flávio, my aunt, Maria Irenice, as well as all my relatives who always
supported me in some way during my studies. I would also like to
thank the support of my advisor, Prof. Roberto Limão. I am very
grateful to him for having invited me to work with him on many
projects regarding articial intelligence and neural networks. Also,
special thanks to my partners and former partners from Exodus
Sistemas, who have helped me in my challenges in programming and
IT infrastructure. Finally, I'd like to thank my friend Alan Souza, who
wrote this book with me, for having extended to me this authorship.
