About this Series The series Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing contains publications on various topics in the area of soft computing, which include fuzzy sets, rough sets, neural networks, evolutionary computation, probabilistic and evidential reasoning, multi-valued logic, and related fields. The publications within Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing are primarily monographs and edited volumes. They cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and applicable character. An important feature of the series is its short publication time and world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/2941

To my sons, Carlos and Frank
Foreword Finding a single definition of Sustainability Science is a hard task. The next three paragraphs may help the reader to get an idea. In (Sustainability Science: A room of its own, PNAS 2007 104(6), 1737 1738), one can read Like agricultural science and health science, sustainability science is a field defined by the problems it addresses rather than by the disciplines it employs. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA (http:// sustainability.pnas.org), it is stated that Sustainability Science is an emerging field of research dealing with the interactions between natural and social systems, and with how those interactions affect the challenge of sustainability: meeting the needs of present and future generations while substantially reducing poverty and conserving the planet's life support systems. Bettencourt and Kaur (Evolution and structure of sustainability science, PNAS 2011 108 (49) 19540 19545), after a wide analysis of related scientific publications, concluded: These developments demonstrate the existence of a growing scientific field of sustainability science as an unusual, inclusive and ubiquitous scientific practice and bode well for its continued impact and longevity. Nowadays our planet faces several challenges related to the efficient and careful use of scarce resources. Fighting against climate change, taking actions towards sustainable agriculture and forestry; promoting research on secure, clean and efficient energies and smart, green, integrated transportation modes; developing policies on smart cities and so on are in clear connection with Sustainability Science. As a consequence, there is a clear consensus on the need of promoting, supporting and developing the field of Sustainability Science as the quality of life of our future generations depends on what we do today. In order to cope with the challenges and high degree of complexity of the problems arising in this context, there is a clear need for the integration of many sources of knowledge, new methodological approaches, tools and techniques. One key aspect of these problems is the presence of fuzziness, vagueness and imprecision in one or more problems characteristics. Allowing a proper modeling and management of these types of uncertainties are clearly must-have features that, in vii
viii Foreword turn, will enable decision-makers and stakeholders to better understand and solve the problems at hand. It is here where the application of Soft Computing methodologies can play an essential role. Soft Computing has a long history of successful developments that I would not pretend to summarize here. In my opinion, the idea of addressing sustainability science s problems using Soft Computing techniques is up-to-date, relevant and well aligned with the research challenges proposed by the most prominent scientific agencies and governments. This book collects a showcase on the application of different Soft Computing techniques in the context of Sustainability Science. Fuzzy optimization, machine learning, decision making, prediction and so on, are applied to location problems, agriculture, topography, multimodal transport, Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks, vessels fuel optimization, etc. The chapters are scientifically sound, quite easy to read and follow and the authors are worldwide distributed: Italy, Spain, México, Cuba, Portugal, Brazil, Belgium, Singapore and Sweden. To conclude, I would like to say some words about the Editor, Dr. Carlos Cruz. I know him since 2004, when I co-advised his Ph.D. thesis in Soft Computing based, parallel coordinated strategies to solve optimization problems. Since then, Dr. Cruz developed an excellent research profile, together with the constant participation in national and international projects. The use of Soft Computing techniques for solving relevant problems (for example, transportation problems in Cuba) is being constant along his career as a quick check of his publication record can reveal. Overall, I consider this book a great piece of work, not only for well-established researchers but also for Ph.D. students trying to find good research opportunities.
