This text contains primarily survey articles of actual industrial applications of numerical analysis with automatic result verification and of interval representation of data. Underlying topics include branch and bound algorithms for global optimization, constraint propagation, solution sets of linear systems, hardware and software systems for interval computations, and fuzzy logic. Actual applications described in the book include economic input-output models, quality control in manufacturing design, a computer-assisted proof in quantum mechanics, medical expert systems, and others. A realistic view of interval computations is taken: the articles indicate when and how overestimation and other challenges can be overcome. An introductory chapter explains the content of the papers in terminology accessible to mathematically literate graduate students.
