Description & Coverage
Description:

In order to ensure the criteria for monitoring and managing the various problems and design for decision control, a mathematical description of exact human knowledge is required for the management of adaptive and complex systems.

Decision Control, Management, and Support in Adaptive and Complex Systems: Quantitative Models presents an application and demonstration of a new mathematical technique for descriptions of complex systems. This comprehensive collection contains scientific results in the field of contemporary approaches to adaptive decision making that is essential for researchers, scholars, and students alike.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Control and Adaptive Systems
  • Decision Support
  • Elements of Utility Theory
  • Measurement Scale
  • Performance Measurement Models
  • Value Function
Reviews & Statements

Andreev and Pavlov (both information and communication technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) describe and demonstrate a new mathematical technique to describe decision making in complex systems, which retains human speculative knowledge as decisive for the final solution. Their topics include decision support fundamentals, preferences-based performance measurement models, elements of stochastic programming, extrapolation methods in control and adaptive systems, personalized electronic-learning systems, and a preference utility-based approach to discovering qualitative knowledge. The case study is a chicken and egg farm.
