Intelligent system design support by fuzzy-multi-criteria decision making and/or evolutionary algorithms

The complexity of the environment, in which strategic decisions are made, seems to be the main reason why intelligent decision support systems (IDSS, also called active DSS - ADSS) are needed. There are several reasons for the complexity: the information and knowledge for the decisions is incomplete, uncertain or imprecise or even inconsistent, the information overload is still increasing, there are multiple, often conflicting goals and multiple different type constraints, there are time constraints for the decisions in a changing environment, and there is a tendency towards group decision making. The authors present methods, technologies and techniques for the development of IDSS.<
