Foreword

The book I am glad to write my foreword to is a very relevant position in literature on intuitionistic fuzzy sets or, maybe even more generally, in the fuzzy set theory. In virtually all application issues related to the very essence of similarity, distances are crucial. Just to quote some more important examples, let me mention data analysis and data mining, machine learning, decision theory and analysis, control etc. Of course, this short list
