MTS can be applied in patient monitoring, medical diagnosis, software, manufacturing, weather forecasting, automotive collision prevention system, and fire detection.

There are no books available in any language on MTS or that present best practices with MTS. In the organizations where MTS is extremely successful, management has an understanding of the significant impact of the applications, therefore the support for implementation is highly encouraged. The primary goal of introducing this book is:

To contribute to the society as a whole by introducing MTS methodology. We strongly feel that MTS will be one of the most important methods of the future as pattern recognition design method.

To provide organizations with proven techniques to become more competitive in the global market.
