This book, Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, presents a compilation of accepted papers presented at the SOCO 2021 conference, held in the picturesque and historic city of Bilbao (Spain) in September 2021. Soft computing encompasses a range of computational techniques employed in machine learning, computer science, and certain engineering domains, aimed at investigating, simulating, and analyzing intricate and complex issues and phenomena.

Following a rigorous peer-review process, the 16th SOCO 2021 International Program Committee selected 78 papers, representing an acceptance rate of 48%. In this edition, a special emphasis is placed on organizing seven special sessions that cover relevant topics such as applications of machine learning in computer vision, soft computing applied to autonomous robots and renewable energy systems, optimization, modeling, and control by soft computing techniques (OMCS), challenges and new approaches toward artificial intelligence deployments in real-world scenarios, time series forecasting in industrial and environmental applications (TSF), soft computing methods in manufacturing and management systems, and applied machine learning.

The selection of papers for this book was meticulously conducted to uphold the high quality standards of the conference. We extend our sincere gratitude to the members of the program committees for their dedicated efforts in reviewing the submissions, as their contributions are essential to the establishment of a prestigious conference like SOCO. Without their tireless dedication, the SOCO conference would not exist.
