Associate Professor Hepu Deng

School of Business Information Technology, RMIT University

Date and time: 11.30am - 12.30pm, Friday 20th June, 2008

Venue: 10.08.04 (Building 10, Level 8, Room 4)

Abstract:

This talk is to discuss the application of fuzzy set theory in decision analysis under uncertainty. It introduces the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, linguistic variables, preference modeling, approximate reasoning and their applications in business. Two real applications will be presented that show the applicability of the concepts discussed in addressing real world decision problems under uncertainty.
