> The Internet has witnessed the last years a rapid increase in
> its popularity, by offering new services to its users.
> However the increased complexity of the systems, the growing
> needs for flexibility, fault-tolerance, higher quality of
> service, interoperability, security, reduced time-to-market
> service introduction and personalization, demand the
> development of sophisticated technologies that are capable of
> dealing effectively with these challenges.
>
> Active and programmable networking aims at easing the
> introduction of new network services by adding dynamic
> programmability to network devices and making aspects of the
> programmability accessible to third-party vendors and users
> via open interfaces. Open and programmable network elements
> are redefining network software architectures and move
> control and management systems away from traditional
> closed/rigid solutions.

> Computational Intelligence (CI) is viewed as a synergy of
> technologies of granular computing (especially fuzzy sets),
> neural networks and evolutionary computing has become an
> ideal design vehicle supporting the design of intelligent
> systems. In this capacity, the role of CI in the development
> of the sophisticated network architectures is profound. The
> main objective of this special issue of the IEEE T-SMC
> Journal is to act as a channel that brings the ideas of CI to
> the network area in a systematic, coherent and comprehensive fashion.

> Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality original papers
