The word “smart” or “intelligent” has almost become ubiquitous in every field of humanities, sciences and engineering and anything that is embedded with some kind of human intelligence-like feature by using soft computing tools such as neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and other evolutionary tools, is dubbed as “smart”.
