Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fuzzy sets theory, since its inception in 1965, has received extensive attention from academia and practitioners and has led to significant advancements in a number scientific fields. As a novel conceptual framework employed to facilitate the characterization of human-centric systems, fuzzy sets theory has proven to be an efficient and powerful tool in modelling human centricity features in intelligent systems; this has led to advancements in computational intelligence in many domains, such as data mining, data analytics, image understanding and interpretation, recommender systems, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), etc.
Computing using fuzzy sets has been a pivotal task when it comes to the theoretical development of fuzzy sets theory, and granular computing has offered processing principles that open new frontiers with which to address the theory. This has been well elaborated in Prof. Witold Pedrycz’s recently published monograph entitled “An Introduction to Computing with Fuzzy Sets: Analysis, Design, and Applications”. The goal of this Special Issue is to further explore new trends in the application of fuzzy sets theory in emerging research fields of computational intelligence, and new frontiers that promote a broad and up-to-date understanding of fuzzy-sets-theory-based extensions and applications. The entire academic community has witnessed the gradual paradigm shift in fuzzy sets theory in both its theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as its applications in a variety of disciplines of science and engineering.
The Special Issue welcomes original contributions that advance state-of-the-art fuzzy-sets-theory-based concepts, methodologies, algorithms and applications in several emerging and related topics. This Special Issue will be particularly dedicated to the following research topics: a) new fuzzy representation models, b) fuzzy machine learning, c) granular fuzzy models, d) data-driven fuzzy modeling, e) fuzzy information fusion and aggregation functions, f) fuzzy logic, and g) fuzzy-set-theory-based applications in science and engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
