Intelligent Decision and Policy Making Support Systems

Risk Modeling for Policy Making.- Fuzzy Logic Approaches to Consensus Modelling in Group Decision Making.- Decision Making Based on Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis.- Cognitive Orientation in Business Intelligence Systems.- Personalized Pedestrian Navigation System with Subjective Preference Based Route Selection.- A Knowledge Based Recommender System Based on Consistent Preference Relations.- An Intelligent Recommender System for Web Resource Discovery and Selection.- An Intelligent Decision Support System Based on Machine Learning and Dynamic Track of Psychological Evaluation Criterion.- Handling Uncertain and Qualitative Information in Impact Assessment – Applications of IDS in Policy Making Support.- Fuzzy Decision Trees as Intelligent Decision Support Systems for Fault Diagnosis.- Linguistic Assessment Approach for Hierarchical Safety Analysis and Synthesis.- A Complex Abstraction Approach to Radioactive Waste Management Policy Decision Making.- Fuzzy-Set Decision Support for a Belgian Long-Term Sustainable Energy Strategy.- On the Constructive Role of Multi-Criteria Analysis in Nuclear Emergency Management.

This book covers a number of representative applications of intelligent decision support systems applications in society and policy support, including general methodologies, case studies, on-going R&D projects, and practical applications. These applications cover Intelligent Decision and Policy Making Support Systems ranging from risk modelling for policy making, consensus modelling in group decision making, fuzzy data envelopment analysis, cognitive orientation in business intelligence, personalized pedestrian navigation systems, knowledge based recommender systems, Web resource discovery and selection, machine learning based intelligent decision support systems, handling uncertain and qualitative information, fault diagnosis, safety analysis, radioactive waste management policy decision making, Belgian long-term sustainable energy strategy, to nuclear emergency management. Major contributions of this book are highly related to the well-established international FLINS series conferences on applied computational intelligence (1994-2008) on this topic and some current ongoing research projects at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK•CEN) in Mol, Belgium.

Covers a balanced mixture of theory and practice including new methods and developments of intelligent decision support systems applications in Society and Policy Support Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
