Forty years have passed since Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh introduced fuzzy set theory in his known article “Fuzzy Sets” in Information and Control, 8, 1965, sparking new development in information technology and automation. This article also formed the roots of the Fuzzy Systems Research Group, an active part of the Laboratory of Applied Mathematics, Lappeenranta University of Technology. Rough set theory, evolutionary computing, and neural computing followed, together with their combinations. This Special Issue presents 10 papers representing these areas. Many of the contributors of this Special Issue belong to the Fuzzy Systems Research Group and others work in close co-operations with this group. The first paper considers the use of linguistically expressed objectives in multicriteria decision-making in selection processes based on topological similarity M-relations between L-sets. The second presents basic ideas and fundamental concepts of rough set theory and considers properties of rough approximations. The third combines Lukasiewicz logics and modifier algebras based on Zadeh algebras, i.e., quasi-Boolean algebras of membership functions. The fourth applies Mö{o}bius transformations, known in complex analysis, to fuzzy subgroups in a topological point of view. The fifth discusses the stability of a classifier based on the Lukasiewicz structure and tests Schweizer and Sklar's implications with an extension to generalized mean to a classification task. The sixth deals with the interpretability problem of first-order Takagi-Sugeno systems and interpolation issues, developing a special two-model configuration. The seventh describes an expert system for defining an athlete's aerobic and anaerobic thresholds that successfully mimics decision-making by sport medicine professionals, with system functionality based on fuzzy comparison measures, generalized means, fuzzy membership functions, and differential evolution. The eighth applies a differential evolution algorithm-based method to training radial basis function networks with variables including centers, weights, and widths. The ninth compares two floating-point-encoded evolutionary algorithms – differential evolution and a generalized generation gap model – using a set of problems with different characteristics. The tenth proposes a new approach for monitoring break tendency of paper webs on modern paper machines, combining linguistic equations and fuzzy logic in a case-based reasoning framework. As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I thank the contributors and reviewers for their time and effort in making this special issue possible. I am also grateful to the JACIII editorial board, especially Prof. Kaoru Hirota, the Editors-in-Chief and Managing Editor Kenta Uchino, and the staff of Fuji Technology Press for the opportunity to participate in this work. I also thank Prof. Kaoru Hirota for organizing the reviewing of my paper.

This special issue of the journal is devoted to Fuzzy Systems and their Applications. Today's fuzzy technology is like a mighty dragon: every year, every day, new applications appear that are more and more helpful in our peaceful life. One of the main objectives of the Second International Vietnam-Japan Symposium on Fuzzy Systems and Applications (VJFUZZY'2001) is to help this powerful technology to achieve even more. VJFUZZY'2001 was held in Hanoi, Vietnam on December 7-8, 2001. In VJFUZZY'2001, there was a wide spectrum of fuzzy research and applications, including sessions: "Fuzzy Mathematics", "Fuzzy Image/Signal Processing and Pattern recognition", "Fuzzy Optimization/Programming", "Fuzzy Data Analysis and its applications", "Towards Combining Fuzzy, probability and other techniques", "Learning, Neural Networks and Applications", "Fuzzy/Intelligent Control", "Natural Language Processing" etc. Many very interesting results were presented at the symposium. Among these various and excellent papers, this special issue offers a selection of nine papers that contribute to advances of computational intelligence in various aspects. The topics that the selected papers deal with are fuzzy relation with threshold, nonlinear optimization with convex polyhedral objective function, reinforcement learning of fuzzy control rules, learning of probabilistic causal models, data querying in fuzzy relational database, case-based reasoning in medial diagnosis, analysis of human brain activities for fuzzy and crisp calculations, fuzzy robust control of a decentralized system and image processing using fuzzy mathematical morphology. As editors of this special issue, we would like to express our thanks to all of the contributors for their interesting results, the anonymous referees for their thankless job and the Editorial Board of JACI, especially Prof. Kaoru Hirora, for the enthusiastic hospitality with which JACI agreed to have this special issue. Finally, we want to thank Prof. Hung T Nguyen and Prof. Michio Sugeno - for their supports to VJFUZZY'2001. Without their help, the VJFUZZY'2001 and then this special issue would not be impossible.
