The book "Advanced Methods for Computational Collective Intelligence" offers a comprehensive collection of 35 advanced chapters selected from the contributions to the 4th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence Technologies and Applications (ICCCI 2012). This conference took place from November 28 to 30, 2012, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The chapters are organized into six thematic parts that address various aspects of computational collective intelligence, including the semantic web and ontologies, social networks and e-learning, agent and multi-agent systems, data analysis methods and applications, soft computing, as well as optimization and control. Each chapter discusses both theoretical and practical issues related to computational collective intelligence and associated technologies. The book is aimed at master's and doctoral students in computer science, as well as researchers engaged with the concept of computational collective intelligence in artificial populations. The editors hope that readers will find inspiring ideas that they can utilize in their future work.
