SLAS Technology Guest Editors Oscar Sanjuán Martínez, Ph.D. (International University of La Rioja [UNIR], Logroño, Spain), Giuseppe Fenza, Ph.D. (Department of Business Sciences - Management and Innovation Systems, DISA-MIS, University of Salerno, Fisciano SA, Italy) and Ruben Gonzalez Crespo, Ph.D. (Department of Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology, International University of La Rioja [UNIR], Logroño, Spain) invite the submission of manuscript proposals (abstracts) for publication in a 2021 Special Issue. These abstracts will be used to select and invite papers for review and publication consideration.
Drs. Martínez, Fenza and Crespo seek high-quality, short- or full-length research reports, reviews and perspectives related to fuzzy systems in bioinformatics and computational biology. These mathematical systems take analog values as input and analyze the input values as logical entities, which take continuous values between 0 and 1. Unlike digital logic, which is discrete, fuzzy logic is continuous in nature. In other words, no logic exists to detect absolute truth and absolute false values. A fuzzy system works successfully even with noisy and distorted data. Fuzzy systems are predominantly deployed to provide precise solutions to complex problems that involve automatic decision-making capabilities.
Bioinformatics solutions use computational algorithms to model and analyze biological processes at the molecular level, while computational biology studies biological systems experimentally using computational models. Fuzzy systems empower bioinformatics- and computational biology-based applications, such as gene expression analysis, cellular reconstruction, medical image processing, protein structure analysis and medical data classification.
Though fuzzy systems provide reliable solutions to biologically-inspired problems, three complexities exist: (1) there is no systematic manner to explain the solution to a problem; (2) there are difficulties with showing and mathematically supporting proofs and (3) use of inconsistent data leads to potentially inconsistent results.
Manuscript proposals (abstracts) are welcome from academia, industry, and vendors. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, fuzzy systems for the following:
