With advancements of the digital technologies, it is easy, and almost instantaneous, to gather a large volume of information and\/or data pertaining to a problem that we want to solve. For instance, the world-wi- web is perhaps the primary source of information and\/or data that we often turn to when we face a decision making problem. However, the information and\/or data that we obtain from the real world often are complex, and comprise various kinds of noise. Besides, real-world information and\/or data often are incomplete and ambiguous, owing to uncertainties of the environments. All these make decision making a challenging task. To cope with the challenges of decision making, - searchers have designed and developed a variety of decision support systems to provide assistance in human decision making processes. The main aim of this book is to provide a small collection of techniques stemmed from artificial intelligence, as well as other complementary methodo- gies, that are useful for the design and development of intelligent decision support systems. Application examples of how these intelligent decision support systems can be utilized to help tackle a variety of real-world problems in different - mains, e. g. business, management, manufacturing, transportation and food ind- tries, and biomedicine, are also presented. A total of twenty chapters, which can be broadly divided into two parts, i. e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chee Peng Lim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642136389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642136382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.30d","brand":"Chee Peng Lim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073653600511,"sku":"9783642136382","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07b5694e-9392-47e4-8ceb-df28ee71a288.jpg?v=1685449102","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-on-decision-making-vol-chee-peng-lim-9783642136382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
