Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We have the intention of launching a Special Issue in Axioms. The central topic in the Special Issue will be “Fuzzy Set Theory in Recommender Systems”. With today’s information overload, it has become increasingly difficult to analyze the huge amounts of data available and to generate appropriate management decisions. Furthermore, the data are often imprecise and will include both quantitative and qualitative elements. For these reasons, it is important to extend traditional decision-making processes by adding intuitive reasoning, human subjectivity, and imprecision.

In the age of Big Data, decision-making processes for economy and society must deal with uncertainty, vagueness, and imprecision. Therefore, the application of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic for recommender systems becomes a hot topic.

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.
