This is the introductory paper in a special issue on fuzzy logic dedicated to the centenary of the birth of Lotfi A. Zadeh published by International Journal of Computers Communications & Control (IJCCC). In 1965, Lotfi A. Zadeh published in the journal „Information and Control” the article titled „Fuzzy sets”, which today reaches over 117 thousand citations. The total sum of citations for all his papers is above 253 thousand. Based on the notion of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic and the concept of soft computing emerged, bringing extremely important implications to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In 2017, I published, whith F.G. Filip and M.J. Manolescu, a 42-page long paper in the IJCCC about the life and masterwork of Lotfi A. Zadeh, from which I will use some information in this material [15].

扎德百年纪念

这是专门针对Lotfi A. Zadeh诞生一百周年的模糊逻辑特刊的介绍性论文，由国际计算机通信与控制杂志（IJCCC）发布。1965年，Lotfi A. Zadeh在“信息与控制”杂志上发表了题为“模糊集”的文章，如今已被引用超过11.7万。他所有论文的被引用总数超过25.3万。基于模糊集的概念，模糊逻辑和软计算的概念应运而生，这对人工智能（AI）领域具有极其重要的意义。2017年，我在IJCCC上发表了长达42页的长篇论文FG Filip和MJ Manolescu，内容涉及Lotfi A. Zadeh的生活和杰作，我将在其中使用一些信息[15]。
