Significant progress in Soft Computing technology and the need for results that rely on more realistic assumptions inspired new researchers to revisit business problems, i.e. the problems that have been traditionally tackled by introducing simplifying assumptions in the past. Today businesses are undergoing a major paradigm shift, moving from traditional management into a worlu of agile and smart organizations and processes. An agile and smart corporation is able to rapidly and intelligently respond to market changes. For this reason, corporations have been seeking to develop and adopt new technologies, such as soft computing technology, in management of business processes that can assist in developing more realistic solutions quickly and intelligently.

软计算技术的显著进步以及对结果依赖于更现实假设的需求，促使新的研究人员重新审视业务问题，即过去通过引入简化假设来解决的问题。今天，企业正在经历一场重大的范式转变，从传统的管理转变为一个由敏捷和智能的组织和流程组成的世界。一个敏捷而聪明的公司能够迅速而智能地应对市场变化。因此，企业一直在寻求开发和采用新技术，如软计算技术，以管理业务流程，以帮助快速和智能地开发更现实的解决方案。
