Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, significant developments have been made in fuzzy systems. Fuzzy logic can be applied in areas such as fuzzy clustering in image processing, classification, regression, and decision making; fuzzy control to map expert knowledge to control systems; fuzzy modeling to combine expert knowledge; and fuzzy optimization to solve development problems.
An advanced fuzzy system is a flexible method of combining multiple conflicting, cooperative, and collaborative sets of knowledge. Combined with the features of artificial intelligence and decision-making systems, a number of studies have focused on the many applications of fuzzy decision making. Those intelligent systems, together with other technologies, have opened up a new way of thinking, as well as new approaches to research, development, and application.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest results on advances in fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems, decision making, and related applications.
The main areas include, but are not limited to, intelligent systems, sustainable development, socio–cyber–physical systems, e-administration, environmental engineering, smart cities, healthcare, security, visualization, business process automation, manufacturing systems, logistics, telecommunication, infrastructure, and transportation.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
