Special Session on
Knowledge-based
Multi-criteria Decision Support
Call for Papers
Scope of the Session
Interactions
between multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and artificial intelligence
(AI) have been recently explored by several researchers in order to develop
enhanced methodologies for knowledge-based decision support. Within this context,
new techniques have been proposed for handling uncertainty and vagueness using
fuzzy/rough set theory, new preference models have been developed, and new
computing methodologies have been used in complex MCDA problems based on
evolutionary techniques. The aim of this session is to present the most recent
advances on the development of knowledge-based multi-criteria decision support
methodologies, exploring the interactions between MCDA, AI and soft computing
techniques such as evolutionary computing, fuzzy sets, rough sets, neural
networks, neuro-fuzzy systems, support vector
machines, etc.
