Abstract: In this paper, a bibliometric study of the computational 
intelligence field is presented. Bibliometric maps showing the 
associations between the main concepts in the field are provided for the 
periods 1996-2000 and 2001-2005. Both the current structure of the field 
and the evolution of the field over the last decade are analyzed. In 
addition, a number of emerging areas in the fild are identified. It turns 
out that the computational intelligence can best be seen as a field that 
is structured around four important types of problems, namely control 
problems, classification problems, regression problemsm and optimization 
problems. Within the computational intelligence field, the neural networks 
and fuzzy systems sudfields are fairly intertwined, whereas the 
evolutionary computation subfield has a relatively independent postion.
