Decisions involving databases, fuzzy databases and codatabases
Journal Title: Operations Research and Decisions - Year 2015, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
The authors consider the following three ways of decision making: (i) decisions involving databases by means of standard tools of sequential logic and universal algebra; (ii) deci sions involvingfuzzy databases by means of fuzzy logic; (iii) decision involving continuously growing databases (codatabases) using the tools of Bayesian networks.

The valuation of real options in a hybrid environment
The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities and purposefulness of the application of fuzzy set theory to the valuation of real options. Owing to temporal fluctuations in the market, some input parameters in a m...
Are we done with preference rankings? If we are, then what?
Intransitive, incomplete and discontinuous preferences are not always irrational but may be based on quite reasonable considerations. Hence, we pursue the possibility of building a theory of social choice on an alternati...
Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods in Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA): A comparison of private passenger vehicles
Analogies between the life cycle assessment (LCA) and multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodologies have been discussed as well as LCA as an MCDA problem for resolving the trade-offs between multiple environmental...
Theoretical and methodological bases of threats. The method of security management support
A new approach to threat analysis and management of security understood has been presented. Threats have been analyzed in a wide theoretical-methodological range with particular emphasis on the need for the system-wide a...
On the performance of modified EWMA charts using resampling schemes
Two popular sampling schemes have been used to design control charts by means of a modified exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistic. The structures of the proposed charts, using repetitive group sampling a...
