New Trend on Fuzzy Systems and Intelligent Decision Making Theory: A Themed Issue Dedicated to Dr. Ronald R. Yager
This special issue belongs to the section "Artificial Intelligence".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to Dr. Ronald R. Yager’s research; he has been and still is a pioneer in several fields including fuzzy systems and intelligent decision-making theory, among others. Dr. Yager is one of the most esteemed and highly cited researchers in the field of computational intelligence and won several awards including IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award (2004), IEEE Outstanding Contributor Award Granular Computing (2006), IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award (2016), and Lotfi A. Zadeh Pioneer Award of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (2018), etc. He is the founder and former editor in chief (1988–2020) of the International Journal of Intelligent Systems. He has published many papers, most of which were written independently by himself, and many books/monographs.
To honor his contributions, this Special Issue will gather research works and reviews from researchers and scientists working in the research areas most impacted by Dr. Yager’s research. The Special Issue welcomes original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art of intelligent decision-making theory, preference and uncertainty involved decision making, fuzzy systems, extended fuzzy sets with application, information fusion techniques, and other related topics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
