This book presents high-quality research papers delivered at the 3rd International conference, COMET 2020, organized by Panimalar Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India on 6th and 7th March, 2020. The aim of publishing these proceedings is to disseminate cutting-edge developments taking place in the technological fields of Intelligent Systems and Computer Technology which will assist researchers and practitioners from both institutions and industry to exchange information, cross-fertilize ideas and upgrade their knowledge of the latest developments and emerging areas of study. Researchers are now working in the relevant areas, and these proceedings of COMET 2020 play a major role by assembling significant work in a single volume. The theme of the book, Intelligent Systems and Computer Technology, focuses on technological innovations and trendsetting initiatives to improve business values, optimize business processes and enable inclusive growth for corporates, industries and education alike. Proven IT governance, standards and practices have led to developments in the form of prototypes, designs and tools to enable rapid information flow to the user.

The book is divided into two chapters: Next Generation Soft Computing and Evolutionary Networking and Communications.

Next Generation Soft Computing provides a miracle solution for solving more complex problems by adapting to changing scenarios. The recent developments of soft-computation techniques in various fields of application related to data and image processing paves the way for handling huge volumes of data, thereby bringing about a significant change in technological advancements. It also provides a premier platform for scientists, researchers, practitioners and academicians to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and concerns, as well as the practical challenges encountered in this field.

Evolutionary Networking and Communications focuses on various aspects of 5G communications systems and networking, including cloud and virtualisation solutions, management technologies, and vertical application areas. It brings together cutting- edge researchers from all over the world to present the latest upcoming technologies, and also provides an excellent international forum for the sharing of knowledge and results from theory, methodology and applications in networking and communications. Furthermore, the newer and more innovative ideas are well grounded, with adequate technical support and the core competent technical domains in communication to improve their intellectual aspects. The conference attracted significant contributions about wired and wireless networks in theoretical and practical aspects; authors were asked to contribute experiences that describe significant advances in, but not limited to, the following areas: computing, communication, control systems and knowledge engineering, and the above chapters bring together the ideas, innovations and experimental results of academicians, researchers and scientists in their domain of interest in these areas.
