Organizing Maps (SOM) has found application in practical all fields,
especially those which tend to handle high dimensional data. SOM can be
used for the clustering of genes in the medical field, the study of
multi-media and web based contents and in the transportation industry,
just to name a few. Apart from the aforementioned areas this book also
covers the study of complex data found in meteorological and remotely
sensed images acquired using satellite sensing. Data management and
envelopment analysis has also been covered. The application of SOM in
mechanical and manufacturing engineering forms another important area of
this book. The final section of this book, addresses the design and
application of novel variants of SOM algorithms.
