This monograph is intended for a graduate course of engineering and management science, as well as for persons who want an introductory and a capsule look into the theories and methodologies of multiple attribute decision making under a fuzzy environment. Moving from classical MADM introduces a...

In the last 25 years, the fuzzy set theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research, management science, control theory, artificial intelligence/expert system, etc. In this volume, methods and applications of crisp, fuzzy and possibilistic multiple objective decision...

This volume presents the most recent results in theory, methodology and applications of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). All facets of MCDM are included like fuzzy models, nonlinear convex problems, simulated annealing, integer programming models, goal programming and more. In the...

This volume brings together for the first time articles by well-known experts focusing on the topic of the joint occurrence of imprecision, dealt with in terms of fuzzy sets and possibility theory, and randomness, dealt with in terms of probability theory, in a wide spectrum of decision making...
