                     Description:

The book is a collection of chapters devoted to Constructive methods for Neural networks. Most of the chapters are extended
versions of works presented at the special session on constructive neural network algorithms held during the 18th International
Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN 2008), September 3-6, 2008 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The book is devoted to constructive neural networks and other incremental learning algorithms that constitute an alternative
 to standard trial and error methods for searching adequate architectures. It is made of 15 articles which provide an overview
 of the most recent advances on the techniques being developed for constructive neural networks and their applications.
 It will be of interest to researchers in industry and academics and to post-graduate students interested in the latest advances
 and developments in the field of artificial neural networks.
