چکیده

‎A warm welcome to the inaugural Volume 1‎, ‎Issue 1‎, ‎of the Journal of Transactions on fuzzy sets and systems (TFSS)‎, ‎a new exciting title for journals for 2022‎. ‎The launch of this pioneering journal marks a new era for the multidisciplinary field‎. ‎TFSS aims to publish high-quality original articles that make a significant contribution to the research areas of both theoretical and applied mathematics in the field of fuzzy‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎the journal’s focus is to provide a new platform for disseminating the latest research and current practices in the emerging fields from fuzzy logic‎, ‎fuzzy mathematics‎, ‎intelligent systems theory‎, ‎fuzzy generalizations‎, ‎and related areas‎. ‎Fuzzy sets and systems are an emerging and rapidly growing multidisciplinary field‎.
‎Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory‎, ‎namely possibility theory‎, ‎and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling‎: ‎fuzzy rule-based systems‎. ‎Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies‎. ‎Fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory‎, ‎topology‎, ‎algebra‎, ‎analysis‎, ‎optimization‎, ‎Soft sets‎, ‎etc‎. ‎Furthermore‎, ‎fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logic‎.
‎Our vision for TFSS is to establish a vigorously peer-reviewed‎, ‎open-access‎, ‎online platform with the mission to publish the most inspiring and impactful research discoveries in fundamental areas for all cognitive systems and computational studies worldwide‎. ‎The Journal will publish original research articles that review recent developments in specific subject areas and forward-looking perspectives‎.
‎Subject areas include‎, ‎but are not limited to‎, ‎Fuzzy logic‎, ‎Complex fuzzy sets‎, ‎Artificial intelligence‎, ‎Computational intelligence‎, ‎Decision making‎, ‎Soft computing and uncertainty modeling‎, ‎and application of fuzzy set theory in electrical and computer engineering‎, ‎Finance‎, ‎and management‎.
‎As an international journal‎, ‎TFSS shares novel concepts among researchers‎, ‎industrialists‎, ‎and students across the globe‎. ‎There are numerous benefits to publishing in this cutting-edge journal‎, ‎which strives to guarantee an unbiased blind peer review and publish articles online shortly after acceptance with unique Digital Object Identifiers‎.
‎I have the great honor of being the founding Editor-in-Chief and accept the challenges and responsibilities of developing TFSS into a premier professional journal on fuzzy sets and systems‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎it is our great honor to work with an exceptional team of editorial board members who give generously of their time and expertise to the journal‎. ‎We will rely heavily on them for their willingness to process submitted papers and make a sound recommendation on each manuscript and work with me to develop this new journal to serve the research community best‎.
‎As the journal grows‎, ‎we will recruit additional Editors and adjust the expertise of the editorial board‎. ‎We would also like to take this opportunity to invite researchers worldwide to engage in basic research of fuzzy sets and systems and submit their enlightening research output‎, ‎in the form of research papers‎, ‎technical notes‎, ‎reviews‎, ‎and Industry Forum articles‎, ‎to this journal‎. ‎We expect our distinguished editorial board members and active supporters of several professional associations to realize the journal’s objective‎.
‎We wish to close this inaugural editorial by showing heartfelt gratitude to all for your support as editors‎, ‎authors‎, ‎reviewers‎, ‎and information users who have helped ensure the quality of all articles included in this inaugural issue of TFSS‎. ‎We will welcome and value greatly your suggestions and ideas for making the journal highly impactful‎. ‎Together‎, ‎with your support‎, ‎we can build a journal of excellence to serve the research community‎.
