In order to reduce the risk of human mistakes in financial domains, expert systems have gained a great advantage in big data environments. Besides their efficiency in quantitative analysis such as profitability, banking management, and strategic financial planning, expert systems have successfully treated qualitative issues including financial analysis, investments advisories, and knowledge based decision support systems. Due to the increase in financial applications size, complexity and the number of components, it is no longer practical to anticipate and model all possible interactions and data processing in these applications using the traditional data processing model. The emerging of new engineering research areas is a clear evidence of the emergence of new demands and requirements of modern real-life applications to be more intelligent. Recently, expert systems with explanation for decision making can achieve a high accuracy rate to support financial institutions in a highly volatile climate. It is being promoted by the software engineering community to use such systems as the adequate solution to handle the current requirements of complex big data processing problems that demanding distribution, flexibility, and robustness.

The main objective of this book is to provide an exhaustive review on the roles of expert systems in financial sectors with special reference to big data environments. In addition, it aims to provide a collection of high quality research works that address broad challenges in both theoretical and application aspects of intelligent and expert systems in finance. We invite colleagues to contribute original book chapters that will stimulate the continuing effort on the application of the intelligent systems that leads to solve the problem of big data processing in a smart banking and financial environment. We invite all researchers and practitioners who are developing algorithms, systems, and applications, to share their results, ideas, and experiences.
