Principals of soft computing for computer science

Soft computing refers to intelligence of the computers.In this course you will learn on what principles computers are working.Have you ever notice, why and how computers work so fast, why there is no deadlocks, who it manages  all its resources.If you do not know anything you need not to be worry.In this course you will study principles of soft computing.But keep in mind not hard computing.Artificial course must be covered in order to understand this course.
