Sequential Hybrid Systems:

This is like combining different soft computing methods in a step-by-step

manner. For instance, you might use fuzzy logic to handle uncertainty first, and
then pass the results to a neural network for further learning. It's a sequential
flow of soft computing techniques to solve a complex problem.

Sequential hybrid systems can be used to optimize complex systems and control
systems that are subject to uncertainty or nonlinearity.

Sequential hybrid systems can be used to analyze large amounts of data and
make predictions about future events.

Embedded Hybrid Systems:

In soft computing, embedded systems involve seamlessly integrating different

approaches. Picture using fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms together to
optimize a solution. They work hand in hand, and each method contributes its
unique strengths, creating a holistic and integrated soft computing solution.
