A)  Special Issue in:  Fuzzy Systems and Applications. WSEAS Transactions on Circuits and Systems seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue  in Fuzzy Systems and Applications
Fuzzy systems is an alternative to traditional notions of set membership and logic that has its origins in ancient Greek philosophy, and applications at the leading edge of Artificial Intelligence. Yet, despite its long-standing origins, it is a relatively new field, and as such leaves much room for development. This paper will present the foundations of fuzzy systems, along with some of the more noteworthy objections to its use, with examples drawn from current research in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Ultimately, it will be demonstrated that the use of fuzzy systems makes a viable addition to the field of Artificial Intelligence, and perhaps more generally to formal mathematics as a whole. Fuzzy systems have demonstrated the ability to formalize in a computationally efficient manner the approximate reasoning capability typical of humans. One of the important research challenges today is to further develop the fuzzy systems theory towards the design of intelligent systems with a higher level of flexibility and autonomy, so that the systems can evolve their structure and knowledge depending on the environment and ultimately - evolve their intelligence. To address the problems of modelling, control, prediction, classification and data processing in a dynamically changing and evolving environment, a system must be able to fully adapt its structure and adjust its parameters, rather than use a pre-trained and a fixed structure. That is, the system must be able to evolve, to self-develop, to self-organize, to self-evaluate and to self-improve.

B) Special Issue in: Neural Networks and Applications. WSEAS Transactions on Circuits and Systems seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue in Neural Networks and Applications.  The aim of the special issue is to promote further international co-operation among Scientists and Engineers from different disciplines involved in the study of Neural Networks and Applications. Artificial neural networks are composed of interconnecting artificial neurons (programming constructs that mimic the properties of biological neurons). Artificial neural networks may either be used to gain an understanding of biological neural networks, or for solving artificial intelligence problems without necessarily creating a model of a real biological system. The real, biological nervous system is highly complex: artificial neural network algorithms attempt to abstract this complexity and focus on what may hypothetically matter most from an information processing point of view. Good performance (e.g. as measured by good predictive ability, low generalization error), or performance mimicking animal or human error patterns, can then be used as one source of evidence towards supporting the hypothesis that the abstraction really captured something important from the point of view of information processing in the brain. Another incentive for these abstractions is to reduce the amount of computation required to simulate artificial neural networks, so as to allow one to experiment with larger networks and train them on larger data sets.
