---------------
In computer science and engineering research, soft computing is the use of
inexact solutions to computationally hard tasks such as the solution of
NP-complete problems, for which there is no known algorithm that can compute an
exact solution in polynomial time. Soft computing differs from conventional
computing in that, unlike hard computing, it is tolerant of imprecision,
uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation. In effect, the role model for
soft computing is the human mind. The three major components of soft computing
are fuzzy logic, neural network, and probabilistic reasoning, which complement
each other. Fuzzy logic is used for error analysis and neural network for
knowledge learning. Probabilistic reasoning is used to solve
uncertainties and chestnut problems. It is concluded that fuzzy logic can
simulate the function of human processing language, and neural network and
probability inference model imitate human process data, knowledge learning and
reasoning process, so it can deal with multivariable and nonlinear system
problem with soft computing theory. The integration of soft computing and
multimedia systems is the trend especially when the deep learning arises.

The aim of this special issue is to provide a premier international platform for
wide range of professions including scholars, researchers, academicians and
industry researchers to discuss and present the different types of cutting-edge
soft computing techniques toward multimedia data analyzing systems. The special
issue is open to submit novel and high quality research contributions. We target
the researchers from both the industry and academia and anticipate that this
special issue will open new entrance for further research and technology
improvements in this important area.
