SCIS & ISIS is a biennial international joint conference in the field of soft computing and intelligent systems, including branches of researches from fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary computation, multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence or robotics. SCIS & ISIS 2006 falls on the 3rd International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems (SCIS) and the 7th International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems (ISIS) held at Tokyo Institute of Technology, in Tokyo, Japan, on September 20-24, 2006. In this conference, 464 original papers were accepted for presentation and the number of attendees was 526. After preliminary selection and review made by the session chairs and the International Program Committees of SCIS & ISIS 2006, we have selected more than 50 papers to be published in extended form in the Special Issue of the Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics. The accepted papers are published as the special issues in Vol.11, No.6, 7, and 8 in 2007. This current issue presents 23 papers and covers most of the topics of the conference including fuzzy theories, self-organizing maps, and the optimization of neural networks. The learning and search methods in computational intelligence and real-world applications to image processing, robotics and manufacturing systems are highlighted in this current issue. I would like to thank all the authors and reviewers for their contribution to make this special issue possible. I am also grateful to Prof. Toshio Fukuda, Nagoya University and Prof. Kaoru Hirota, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Editors-in-chief, for inviting me to serve as Guest Editor of this Journal.

Conference Presentations

Much work has been done recently in soft computing, reflecting the growing, widespread interest in the emerging theory and technological development in this field. Soft computing has also been the subject of a number of new scientific conferences and symposiums, including the Joint 1st International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems (SCIS) and 3rd International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems (ISIS) at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology at Tsukuba on October 21–25, 2002. The first and second ISIS were held in Korea, and the joint conference has become internationally recognized. The conference at Tsukuba featured over 200 papers and discussions and information exchange by over 250 participants interested in state–of–the–art soft computing. The 20 papers in this special issue were selected from 209 of these conference presentations. In the selection process, guest editors first requested recommendation of papers to session chairs and organizers. From the resulting list, we asked if they could submit their papers. Submitted papers were reviewed as usual for this journal based on the JACIII standard, resulting in the acceptance of these 20. Most papers have been rewritten and updated, and we are proud of their high quality–a reflection of the SCIS & ISIS conference review process. Papers come from different areas: two focus on theory, including modal logic. Several study fuzzy control. Still others deal with different aspects of robotics. They also cover data analysis, image analysis, knowledge analysis, and language studies involving soft computing. This issue thus provides a concise summary of state–of–the–art soft computing methodologies. We thank the referees for their untiring efforts to complete reviews within the limited time given. We also thank Professor Kaoru Hirota and Professor Toshio Fukuda, editors–in–chief of this journal, for their kind invitation to this special issue. Professor Hirota, who is also the International Advisory Board Chair, and Dr. Takanori Shibata, the General Chair, are largely responsible for the great success of the SCIS & ISIS 2003 conference, where Guest Editor Miyamoto served the Program Chair and Yasunobu served the Special Sessions Chair. The results of their work are thus reflected in this issue. In closing, we also thank the staff at Fuji Technology Press for its on going assistance.

And Control

We are witnessing a rapidly growing interest in the field of advanced computational intelligence, a "soft computing" technique. As Prof. Zadeh has stated, soft computing integrates fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation, and chaos. Soft computing is the most important technology available for designing intelligent systems and control. The difficulties of fuzzy logic involve acquiring knowledge from experts and finding knowledge for unknown tasks. This is related to design problems in constructing fuzzy rules. Neural networks and genetic algorithms are attracting attention for their potential in raising the efficiency of knowledge finding and acquisition. Combining the technologies of fuzzy logic and neural networks and genetic algorithms, i.e., soft computing techniques will have a tremendous impact on the fields of intelligent systems and control design. To explain the apparent success of soft computing, we must determine the basic capabilities of different soft computing frameworks. Give the great amount of research being done in these fields, this issue addresses fundamental capabilities. This special issue is devoted to advancing computational intelligence in control theory and applications. It contains nine excellent papers dealing with advanced computational intelligence in control theory and applications such as fuzzy control and stability, mobile robot control, neural networks, gymnastic bar action, petroleum plant control, genetic programming, Petri net, and modeling and prediction of complex systems. As editor of this special issue, I believe that the excellent research results it contains provide the basis for leadership in coming research on advanced computational intelligence in control theory and applications.
