Advanced Research in Fuzzy System and Neural Networks

Dear Colleagues,

The development of fuzzy logic systems is still little-known, but there have been numerous advances in this area. Researchers, academics and practitioners have granted considerable attention to fuzzy logic systems, which has been applied in a variety of fields. Furthermore, fuzzy logic is capable of working with uncertain data, and its several extensions can be applied to a wide range of evaluation and decision-making problems. Many domains, including the sciences, engineering, economics, and management, have also incorporated fuzzy logic systems and their extensions into their evaluation and decision-making processes.

Neural networks, on the other hand, are a relatively novel paradigm that offers models and techniques for handling incomplete and/or uncertain information regarding real-world problems. The area of neural networks has been widely researched, generating the development of multiple variations in the original model of the perceptron neural network, such as the feed forward neural network, convolutional neural network, recurrent neural network, neuro-fuzzy networks, and more; these approaches offer a wide array of theoretical and practical tools for advanced research.

This Special Issue aims to publish original or review articles that focus on the current advances, methodologies, and applications of fuzzy systems and neural networks. Special attention will be paid to research works that address practical problems regarding the application of evaluation and decision-making methods in fuzzy modeling, neural networks and neuro-fuzzy networks. Contributions that attend to the following topics are particularly welcome.

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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
