Intelligent decision support and information systems in enterprise: evolutionary-based optimization
Masoud Nikravesh · 2005
Most of the existing search systems ''software' are modeled using crisp logic and queries. We introduce fuzzy querying and ranking as a flexible tool allowing approximation where the selected objects do not need to match exactly the decision criteria resembling natural human behavior. The model consists of five major modules: the fuzzy search engine, the application templates, the user interface, the database and the evolutionary computing. The system is designed in a generic form to accommodate more diverse applications and to be delivered as stand-alone software to academia and businesses.
