A follow-on volume to Advances in Intelligent and Autonomous Aerospace Systems (AIAA, 2012) Advances in Computational Intelligence and Autonomy for Aerospace Systems seeks to provide both the aerospace researcher and the practicing aerospace engineer with further insight into the latest innovative methods and approaches regarding intelligent and autonomous aerospace systems. Written by leading researchers in the field, it focuses on: Intelligent Space Systems, Intelligent Validation and Verification Methods, Intelligent Health Monitoring, Intelligent Flight Control. Research advances in embedded computational intelligence, communication, control, and new mechanisms for sensing, actuation, and adaptation hold the promise to transform aerospace. The result will be air and space vehicles, propulsion systems, exploration systems, and vehicle management systems that respond more quickly, provide large-scale distributed coordination, work in dangerous or inaccessible environments, and augment human capabilities.
