Policy making, strategic planning and management in general are complex decision making
tasks, where the formulation of a quantitative mathematical model may be difficult or …

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) are widely used to model and analyze the behavior of complex
multicomponent systems. The application of FCM might be non-trivial in some specific …

Abstract Fuzzy Cognitive Maps are very useful tools primarily in decision making and
management tasks. They represent the main factors, variables of a complex system and the …

The aim of the present paper is to develop an integrated method that provide assistance to
decision makers during system planning, design, operation and evaluation. In order to …

The authors have already presented their method for reducing oversized FCM models, and
also have analyzed the prediction error of the reduced models. These investigations …

To study complex phenomena, modelers have used a wide variety of modeling techniques
(eg agent-based modeling). While these are powerful and useful modeling methods, they …

The aim of the present paper is to develop an integrated method that may provide
assistance to decision makers during system planning, design, operation and evaluation. In …
