Welcome to the Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems’s special issue for “FUZZYSS’2011: 2nd International Fuzzy Systems Symposium”. Since its introduction by Prof. Dr. Lotfi A. Zadeh fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets and systems have been applied to various problems in many diverse areas. As everything try to evolve towards better states, the fuzzy theory and its applications are also evolving to mode...

in this paper, we introduce and characterize fuzzy wea-kly $e$-closed functions in fuzzy topological spaces and the relationship between these mappings and some properties of them are investigated.

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh [20] in 1965, several researchers have been working on the generalization of the fuzzification. In 1986, Atanassov [2] introduced the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. For more details on the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, we refer to [2-4]. Fuzzy sets are intuitionistic fuzzy sets but the converse is not necessarily true [18]. Kim and Jun [7, 8] int...

In this paper we associate the three concepts of language, thinking, and meaning with Fuzzy Sets and Systems and Fuzzy Logic. We present some developments in 20 th century history of science and of humanities that show deep links between these concepts and we give a proposal for a fuzzy theoretical interpretation of what is meaning.

Recently, Vemuri and Jayaram proposed a novel method of generating fuzzy implications from a given pair of fuzzy implications. Viewing this as a binary operation ~ on the set I of all fuzzy implications they obtained, for the first time, a monoid structure (I,~) on the set I. Some algebraic aspects of (I,~) had already been explored and hitherto unknown representation results for the Yager’s fa...
