In the prevailing technological paradigm, there exists various toolkits which researchers and practitioners can leverage to use Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs). However, a systematic management toolkit that encompasses security mechanisms, Kosko simulations, and what-if scenario analysis with AI-enabled inference remains scarce. To address this, we introduce FCM-VSS (Fuzzy Cognitive Maps – Visualizer, Simulator, and Summarizer), a robust web application that integrates Advanced Encryption Standard - Galois Counter Mode (AES-GCM) security, locally hosted Ollama-based AI agents for FCM summarization, and customizable Kosko inference mechanisms. This paper outlines FCM-VSS's architecture and web implementation, emphasizing on its potential as a secure, AI-powered FCM management tool.
