Abstract
The field of Natural Computing (NC) has advanced rapidly over the past decade. One significant offshoot of this progress has been the application of NC methods in finance. This paper provides an introduction to a wide range of financial problems to which NC methods have been usefully applied. The paper also identifies open issues and suggests multiple future directions for the application of NC methods in finance.
