Abstract: This paper is dedicated to Professor Ioan Dzitac (1953–2021). Therefore, his life has been briefly presented as well as a comprehensive overview of his major contributions in the domain of soft computing methods in a fuzzy environment. This paper is part of a special reverential volume, dedicated to the Centenary of the Birth of Lotfi A. Zadeh, whom Ioan Dzitac considered to be is his mentor, and to whom he showed his gratitude many times and in innumerable ways, including by being the Guest Editor of this Special Issue. Professor Ioan Dzitac had many important achievements throughout his career: he was co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of an ISI Expanded quoted journal, International Journal of Computers Communications & Control; together with L.A. Zadeh, D. Tufis and F.G. Filip he edited the volume “From Natural Language to Soft Computing: New Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence”; his scientific interest focused on different sub-fields: fuzzy logic applications, soft computing in a fuzzy environment, artificial intelligence, learning platform, distributed systems in internet. He had the most important contributions in soft computing in a fuzzy environment. Some of them will be presented in this paper. Finally, some future trends are discussed.
