Building on recent work by the authors, we consider the problem of performing multiobjective optimization when the objective functions of a problem have differing evaluation times (or latencies). This has general relevance to applications since objective functions do vary greatly in their...

The purpose of this paper is to apply a belief rule-based (BRB) system to solve the multiasset class portfolio optimisation problems. The BRB system, was developed on the basis of the concept of belief structures and the evidential reasoning (ER) approach, is a generic non-linear modelling and...

Intelligent decision system (IDS) is a window-based software package that has been developed on the basis of the evidential reasoning (ER) approach, a recent development in handling hybrid multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problems with uncertainties. In this paper, the evidential...
