Special Issue "Advanced Computing Methods for Fuzzy Systems and Neural Networks"

Dear Colleagues,

Fuzzy Systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has wide applications in different control systems and optimization algorithms. AI is widely used in microgrids, robots, biologic systems, etc. Hence, the current Special Issue on Advanced Computing Methods for Fuzzy systems and Neural Networks comprises topics related to recent developments in Artificial Intelligence including：

• Machine learning (neural networks, deep nets, reinforcement learning, federated learning);
• Knowledge representation in machines;
• Reasoning (rule-based systems, logical systems, fuzzy systems, formal specification and verification);
• Mathematical analysis, mathematical programming, functional analysis, constraint satisfaction;
• Heuristic methods (Bio- and nature-inspired computing, theorem proving);
• Imprecise and uncertain reasoning (Bayesian, fuzzy approaches, etc.);
• High-performance computing methods, edge, fog, cloud computing, IoT;
• Distributed ledgers and blockchains.

The engineering applications include:

• Natural language and speech processing;
• Computer vision;
• Distributed multi-agent systems, unmanned vehicles;
• Agent-based modelling and simulation;
• Autonomous driving;
• Renewable energy, smart grids, E-vehicles;
• Smart homes, smart cities, and smart future;
• Hazard modelling and mitigation;
• Manufacturing and Industry 4.0;
• Remote sensing and operations.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Axioms 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 1600 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.
