## Call for papers

Aims & Scope The Official Journal of the World Federation on Soft Computing (WFSC) http://www.softcomputing.org Applied Soft Computing is an international journal promoting an integrated view of soft computing to solve real life problems. Soft computing is a collection of methodologies, which aim to exploit tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness and low solution cost. The focus is to publish the highest quality research in application, advance and convergence of the areas of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computing, Swarm Intelligence and other similar techniques to address real world complexities. Applied Soft Computing is a rolling publication: articles are published as soon as the editor-in-chief has accepted them. Therefore, the web site will continuously be updated with new articles and the publication time will be short. Major Topics: The scope of this journal covers the following soft computing and related techniques, interactions between several soft computing techniques, and their industrial applications: Evolutionary Computing Fuzzy Computing Hybrid Methods Immunological Computing Neuro Computing Swarm Intelligence Machine and Deep Learning Rough Sets The application areas of interest include but are not limited to applications of soft computing to: Agricultural Machinery, Smart Farming Autonomous Reasoning Big Data, IoT, Edge Computing Combinatorial Optimization Data Mining Decision Support Engineering Design Optimization Fault Diagnosis Finance Human-Machine Interface Intelligent Agents Manufacturing Systems Power Electronics Multi-objective Optimization Power and Energy Process and System Control Robotics Security Sensor Systems Signal or Image Processing Software Engineering Supply Chain Economy System Identification and Modelling Telecommunications Time Series Prediction Extended Reality, Metaverse, Digital Twins Vision or Pattern Recognition Authors are welcome to submit letters promoting original soft computing research to Applied Soft Computing's open access companion title, Systems and Soft Computing.
