Paper: Rating and ranking of multiple-aspect alternatives using fuzzy sets
TL;DR: A method to deal with multiple-alternative decision problems under uncertainty by considering each of these variables as fuzzy quantities, characterized by appropriate membership functions of fuzzy sets induced by mappings is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fuzzy multiple attribute decision making: a review and new preference elicitation techniques
TL;DR: New elicitation techniques to determine attributes importance are proposed, which range from statistical to scaling methods based on linguistic variables, to enable a more versatile elicitation procedure as well as providing crisp preferences.

Fuzzy sets, fuzzy algebra, and fuzzy statistics
A. Kandel,W.J. Byatt +1 more
TL;DR: This paper is concerned with formulating such a framework and with introducing a bibliography of 570 items, all classified with fuzzy set theory and its applications, which will help the readers to come to grips with the literature explosion on the subjects of fuzzy sets, fuzzy algebra, fuzzy statistics, and closely related applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rating and Ranking of Multiple-Aspect Alternatives Using Fuzzy Sets
TL;DR: The method basically consists of computing final ratings for each alternative and comparing the weighted final ratings, and considering each of these variables as fuzzy quantities, characterized by appropriate membership functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The fuzzy decade: a bibliography of fuzzy systems and closely related topics
TL;DR: The main part of the paper consists of a bibliography of some 1150 items, each keyword-indexed with some 750 being classified as concerned with fuzzy system theory and its applications.

Decision-making in a fuzzy environment
Richard Bellman,Lotfi A. Zadeh +1 more
TL;DR: A reverse-flow technique is described for the solution of a functional equation arising in connection with a decision process in which the termination time is defined implicitly by the condition that the process stops when the system under control enters a specified set of states in its state space.
Book
Utility theory for decision making
TL;DR: This book presents a concise yet mathematically complete treatment of modern utility theories that covers nonprobabilistic preference theory, the von Neumann-Morgenstern expected-utility theory and its extensions, and the joint axiomatization of utility and subjective probability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systems Approach for Development
TL;DR: The further use of the systems approach for developmental problems is discussed, and the need is seen not only for the adaptation of techniques but also for the development of new and appropriate approaches.
