This book starts with the basic concepts of fuzzy sets and progresses
through a normative view on possibility distributions and OWA operators
in multiple criteria decisions.
Five applications (that all build on experience from solving complex
real world problems) of possibility distributions to strategic decisions
about closing/not closing a production plant using fuzzy real options,
portfolio selection with imprecise future data, predictive probabilities
and possibilities for risk assessment in grid computing, fuzzy
ontologies for process industry, and design (and implementation) of
mobile value services are presented and carefully discussed. It can be
useful for researchers and students working in soft computing, real
options, fuzzy decision making, grid computing, knowledge mobilization
and mobile value services.
