fuzzylogic computes a multi-criteria evaluation by means of either a boolean analysis, weightedlinear combination (wlc) and ordered weighted averaging (owa) of factor images. owa works withstandardized factor images and employs a variant of the wlc. it takes into account the risk associated withthe decision and degree of tradeoff associated with the variables in the analysis. in this research, ...

We introduce and study a family of models for multi-expert multi-objective/criteria decision making. These models use a concept of weight robustness to generate a risk averse decision. In particular, the multi-expert multi-criteria robust weighted sum approach (McRow) introduced in this paper identifies a (robust) Pareto optimum decision that minimizes the worst case weighted sum of objectives ...
